[WiX-users] Heat in WiX v3.6 RC0 generates and extra TypeLib entry

[Christian List]

All,

I just installed WiX v3.6 RC0 and tried using Heat on some of my old COM
dll's
I noticed that it generates an extra TypeLib entry compared to what WiX
v3.6 beta was generating.

Specifically I get this extra entry:

TypeLib Id={00020430---C000-0046}
Description=OLE Automation HelpDirectory=SystemFolder Language=0
MajorVersion=1 MinorVersion=0 Restricted=yes /

And it's inserted outside the File section, so it also generates a
compiler error:

error CNDL0047: The TypeLib element is non-advertised and
therefore requires a parent File element.

Now, my question is why is it now adding this TypeLib?

It doesn't appear to be needed, so I'm inclined to simply delete it from my
.wxs files.

[WiX-users] Using burn to install the same package in two different locations

[Christian List]

I have a question about how burn handles packages that install to different
locations.

I have these 3 packages:
msi package A
msi package B
msi package C
I want to create two installers with burn using these three msi packages

My first burn installer installs:
msi package A to location 1
msi package B to location 1

My second burn installer installs:
msi package A to location 2
msi package C to location 2

So a customer who installs both of my burn installers, will end up with msi
package A installed to both location 1 and location 2.
Can burn handle this?
Does uninstall work correctly, such that when I unsinstall the first burn
installer it only removes the msi package A files from location 1, and when
the second burn installer is removed it removes the msi package A files
from location 2?
Can I create a patch for msi package A that only gets applied to one burn
installer and not the other?

Package A has the same product Id in both burn installers, will that be a
problem? Or can it somehow be changed between the two burn installers?
