Joy of Setup

New features

• The new switch -swall for candle, light, and lit suppresses all warnings, for when you’re feeling reckless.
• WixUI now validates that the chosen installation directory is valid, to detect as early as possible what would otherwise be a fatal error.
• Code page values can now be specified by number or “Web name.”
• New core WiX elements include SetDirectory and SetProperty, which offer simplified authoring for type 35 and type 51 custom actions, respectively.
