Folks,
I'm trying to preserve the installation location that the user has picked
during initial install so that a subsequent install will always go to that
very same location.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use a custom Eula.rtf file for the LicenseAgreementDlg dialog.
So I added the -dWixUILicenseRtf=Eula.rtf flag to my light command line
and I also added a -b with the base path to my Eula.rtf file.
The linker fails with the following error :
LicenseAgreementDlg.wxs(28)
Perfect. Thank you

Hello all,
We have been merrily signing our installer for a few weeks now... Sadly

I'm only using WiX 2.0 so needed something that was easier to integrate
and maintain instead of Tallow. Tallow was fine for getting you started
but if you're working on a large web project with thousands of files and

manually.
