Correct where “goes” means “installs to”.

1. I found the implementation at `Uuid.NewUuid` in `src\tools\wix\Uuid.cs`.
2. Seems to be derived from the full KeyPath of the component. So as long as
everything goes to the same place the GUID will not change.

What does the log in your %temp% folder indicate?

Hi, all.
I know you're going to just shake your head at this, but here it is.
I create installers for one of many products that install onto a group of
roughly 14,000 systems at my employer. Some of these systems have drives
that are small by modern standards, and thanks to a weird partitioning
If memory serves, I think that Windows will ask for the original
install media if the cached MSI is missing. That should be testable. I
don't think there's anything that can be done in the MSI file to help,
so I woouldn't worry about different authoring approaches.
Patches are more problematical.
I don't do patches. Nobody does patches for this platform - it isn't worth
the effort.
The MSIs aren't installed interactively - ever. Strictly Microsoft system
management tools and our own home-grown extensions. We have the worst case
of NIH syndrome ever.
Thanks for the feedback, mostly just

Yeah, nothing to be done but to be clear you might be unhappily surprised when
the original MSI is requested during an upgrade because Windows Installer can't
find the it in the cache.
Might want to stop deleting the cache. smile/
I am just starting to create a new C++ CA, which will be driven by my Wix
CompilerExtension which schedules an Immediate CA that then schedules the
deferred CAs. In this situation I need to pass a password down to the CA.
I have read the MSDN entries about Custom Action Security, and advice from
Silly me and sorry for the noise. I see that I need to set in in my wixlib

Sorry!

Hi,
I try (several times) to install Wix 3.8 or 3.9.
During the installation , I obtain an empty error message in a dialog box !
For information, I am under Windows 7 Pro 64 bits.
It's very strange I already installed Wix on another PC (with the same
configuration) with success.
