You can use multiple cabs by specifying multiple Media tags, each one having a different ID. You can then put files in whichever cab by setting [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the relevant id number. I think you can also set [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I'm not sure off the top of my head. Rob Magus wrote:

[WiX-users] File Chooser Dialog

Hi, I can't find any support in Wix (or rather, in MSI) for building a file chooser dialog. In particular, I'm missing a file list control. Am I just being confused? If this is indeed not supported by Wix/MSI, how would you go building one? I thought of having a custom action filling in a

1. RegistrySearch is executed when the AppSearch action runs. The AppSearch action usually is one of the very first things executed. 2. I don't think AppSearch will be able to be scheduled deferred which means it won't work for what you are trying to do. 3. It is difficult to impossible

You probably can't use the standard WiX elements because those will cause your Component to take ownership of the .sln extension (as you note, not something you want to do). Instead, you'll probably have to write a number of targeted registry keys. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL
