Namespace prefixes are like variable names: they are case-sensitive, but you can call them whatever you want, as long as the declaration and the uses are the same (including case). In other words, even xmlns:depz="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/DependencyExtension"; is totally valid, as long as you use <depz:Requires> and not <Depz:Requires> later. -- Nicolás ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
