We've used the question before: When are you shipping? The reason is that if you shipped a product, then WiX changed to fix a bug or add a feature, that version of WiX might be incompatible in some way that would complicate or prevent servicing (e.g., patching). That's a real concern with WiX v3's "convenience" features (e.g., generation of stable short filenames). If we discovered that the approach was wrong for some reason, we might have to change it in a way that generated different short file names, which would make patching all but impossible. Otherwise, I know of several teams at Microsoft using WiX v3 so the tools are basically stable for some pretty hefty projects. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
