Neither really. The application itself contains no user specific files so to me, it doesn't matter. Are there any specific reasons why you'd want one over the over?
My major concern was to remove the Installshield version which I now know is per-machine.

You'd basically set a launchcondition to look for the old product. This would work reasonably well if you were forcing ALLUSERS to a particular value and it didn't match the existing product's value of ALLUSERS. Are you trying to force per-machine or per-user or are you letting the user choose? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
