[WiX-users] re install question
I have created a installer which installs a dll & a wicc file without any UI. But if I make any changes to the installer & try to install on top of it, it gives a message that "another version of the product is already installed". Is there any way to uninstall it automatically & install again instead of popping that message or just reinstall on top of it? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/reinstall-question-tp15052047p15052047.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] example Wix project
Hi, Is there any example Wix project available which shows the installation of an executable e.g. adobe reader if the registry key is missing? I need to investigate WIX to find out if it can be our installation tool. Currently we use InstallShield, & I need to give demo with a sample project to give pros & cons. So far I have been able build a sample project, but stuck with dependency installations/ bootstrapper.

Re: [WiX-users] Set path variable & use it to install files.
Thanks for your reply. I tried it but it gives error LGHT0100 : File of type 'File' with name '($var.HelpSourceFolder)\tutorial.pdf' could not be found. I made sure that specified file exists at the specified path. Is there any other way? Does any tutorial explain that?

Re: [WiX-users] Set path variable & use it to install files.
Richard, Thanks for the reply. I am trying to specify the source folder at build time. Rather than hard coding the path to pull the files for installation, I need to set the path variable. So that if I change the source folder, I just need to redefine the path variable & rebuild the installer. I need to specify similar to InstallShield Path Variables section.
