If I remember correctly, the /rf and /mf parameters are replacing the
resourceFileName and messageFileName attributes in your manifest with the
provided paths. This is already done by the WIX custom action and the
parameters are therefore not required. You should verify that the file paths
are
Ok, so how do I do that? As in - the lines from the log (that show wevtutil
calls) all show only the IM and one path - not any other parameters. So, I am
totally at a loss now how to verify that.

You are already providing your message file here:

Thanks Phil for the answer
Could I embed a WIX installer that handles most of the logic within a ClickOnce
Installer?
By doing this (if possible), I get the auto-update facility and at the same
time can use WIX to handle any complicated logic

I've been trying to figure out why after upgrading to 3.8 my builds are
broken (I get can't find wixutilextension.dll or one of its dependencies),
so I was comparing Votive install folder to that of wix38-binaries.zip
(used by my projects).
I noticed a few missing files...
votive install
Steps taken...
1. Uninstall 3.7, reboot
2. Install 3.8 (votive)
3. using VS2012 create sample wix project
4. uninstall votive
5. extract wix38-binaries to ...\Wix\bin
6. edit above sample wix project per wixtoolset.org guidelines (see
wix38test.wixproj below)
7. open vs2012 x86 command prompt
8.
Is there any documentation about the expression syntax and evaluation of
conditions in Burn?
I found, that comparison of empty strings does not behave as expected. Is
this the intended behaviour?
Using WiX 3.8.1128 the EvaluateCondition method returns the following values
for op (where op
Yes.

FWIW, if I edit the test project to use my wix37-binaries folder instead of
the wix38-binaries folder. The above test project builds without issue.
So, there must be something different in wix 3.8 that is causing the
build exception.

If I have the following feature tree:

├── Website Feature
└── Services

├── Service If You Have MSSQL (mutually exclusive of Oracle)
└── Service If You Have Oracle (mutually exclusive of MSSQL)
Okay, I had a feeling that this would be the case, but after some time
searching no definite statement turned up.
(Also msi has no specific handling of version values like burn does)

The version value handling is an extension. In general, when a property is set
to string.Empty, it is removed. The proper test then is NOT SOME_PROPERTY.

FYI The following thread also discussed 'confusion' on testing for a empty

I figured it out.
It seems that whatever method I used to download/extract wix38-binaries.zip
onto my system triggered an OS's security feature. Apparently all of the

I would:
1) iron out how you will detect MSSQL and Oracle and set appropriate Property(s)
2) condition the Features for MSSQL and Oracle on the detect properties being
set (and since you want only one, the conditions need to be mutually
exclusive). Enable the Feature (and make it visible in
Agreed, thanks! And actually, in my contrived example, the service will get

differ. That should be done at the Component level I think, driven off of
