I have to refer to the WiX.chm for details of specific elements after being away from WiX for a while. However, the foundation of "Products -> Features -> Components -> Resources" and "WiX -> Product -> Fragment" sticks and that usually allows me to walk back into stuff with no problem.
I think it's pretty similar to having to look up all the flags to ::CreateFileW() when I haven't used it in a while. I always get the FILE_SHARE_READ inverted when it's been a while. I think that Intellisense for managed code has made us all lazy. <smile/> Of course, Votive has pretty reasonable Intellisense... better than C++ on some things nowhere near as good as C#. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bryan rasmussen Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 04:42 To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] Always have to relearn Wix every time I use it. Sort of a general usability post, I've noticed that WIX is in the range of technologies that I have to relearn every time I reuse it. There are some things that stick, like the use of GUIDs but generally I have to relearn the whole thing from the beginning. Are there others that have this experience? Is it just because of infrequent usage or does anyone think it is a design issue, I find it strange that the usage and everything about it is so difficult to remember.
