问题 For our msi , we did not mention allusers property in existing releases. so by default it went as per user. Our customers installed the application using an admin user id and that admin left the company. So his user id is no more in valid condition.

Though we can change our msi to support allusers ,it would not work in migration (major upgrade). It seems like only when we give total

问题 I'm trying to build an installer that includes a number of features and I'm using heat to harvest a directory of files for each feature. My source directory structure looks something like this: HarvestDir \FeatureA \FeatureImpl.dll \FeatureImpl2.dll \FeatureB \FeatureImpl.dll \FeatureImpl2.dll So I execute heat.exe for each feature to create a fragment for each feature but I get basically identical fragments e.g. [...] Source="SourceDir\FeatureImpl.dll" [...] Source="SourceDir\FeatureImpl2

WIX Custom Actions built for .Net Framework 4.0 does not work? Ways to resolve?

阅读更多关于 WIX Custom Actions built for .Net Framework 4.0 does not work? Ways to resolve?

We were using WIX 3.5 (Build Number 1811) and built a custom action built using Visual Studio 2008 and with target framework as .Net 3.5. This used to work great, until we built the custom action using Visual Studio 2010 and with target framework as .Net 4.0.
