Hi WiX users,
I'm brand new to WiX and was just a bit confused about the difference
between INSTALLDIR and INSTALLLOCATION. The WiX tutorial and samples seem to
use INSTALLDIR as the Id of the Directory tag, but when I create a new WiX
project in Visual Studio 2010, that value is automatically
with the Virtual Environment**

I've read more about properties, so now I understand that there are private
and public properties, but I'm still confused on how to use them
successfully in my WXS file. (FYI, so far, I've just been playing around
with the examples from the http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ WiX tutorial ,

I'm a complete newbie to WiX and Windows Installer. I've worked through the
tutorials and documentation, and feel pretty comfortable with all the
basics. Now I'm trying to create an installer to fit my requirements, and

With only one file in the component, you probably don't need the

I would have thought so, but I get the same ICE38 error. Based on the MSDN
I did find a work-around for the ICE64 errors, but it seems a bit clunky (see
below). Can anybody confirm whether this is the correct way to do this?
Directory Id=AppDataFolder
Directory Id=3rdPartyAppData Name=3rdParty
Component Id=3rdPartyAppDataFolder
Oh, my bad. I forgot the
RegistryValue Root=HKCU Key=Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]

I've got an XML file that will be installed along with my app, which refers
to my app's installed executable. (Sort of like a shortcut, except that this
XML is used by a 3rd-party app to invoke my app as an add-on. My app can
also run as a standalone app.) I'd like to give the user who installs
Those are both almost perfect, but I can't seem to figure out how to escape
certain characters in the value to be inserted. Specifically, I need to
insert some javascript:
?js
//some javascript that must include formatted string properties
//so that [PropertyName] evaluates to its value

That looks OK if it's passing the ICE tests now as it's much like the

Shortcuts are still files as far as the file system is concerned so

Still struggling with this problem. Here's an example of an XML file with the
