I suppose I'm just slightly surprised I have to do this myself, that there isn't some kind of user interface build in to do that notification. It's not a problem, I was just trying to understand that I am indeed expected to do that myself. It's often hard to tell with MSI/WiX what you're supposed to do yourself verses what is done automatically, or what is provided as pre-canned bits by WiX.
