Arun,

ICE66 warnings are harmless given the bugs in that version of darice.cub.

Thanks Bob,
We made a decision that we will stick to 3.0.3907 for our present releases.
Is it okay to ignore these warnings if i didnt get to upgrade ? I dont think those warnings will do any harm or does it ?

Arun,

You don’t need to upgrade Windows Installer, just WiX.

Gregor,

I’d suggest sending e-mail to wix-users (see http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=105970).

Dunno if this is the correct page to ask questions. But is there any documentation or hint or an example of how to use the newly added support for instanceTransforms (and instance) tags in wix.

I need to create a msi installation that has to be run (installed) more than once (multiple instances of installation) on same computer, and i read this should be done with instanceTransforms somehow. But i can’t find anywhere how to use this in wix.
I know i’m somehow supposed to use torch to create a transformation but that’s about as much as i know…

I’d really apreaceate it if someone could help me, or point me in a direction with examples where is used in wix..

thank you.

There’s a couple of known issues with that build posted on the SourceForge bug tracker.

I’ve tried out WiX v3.0.3907.0 on my machine running Vista Home Premium, VS2005 Version 8.0.50727.867 (vsvista.050727-8600) and it has the following problems:
1. The Solution Explorer is not showing anything.
2. It crashes VS2005.

Before this, I was trying WiX 3.0.2925.0 and light.exe throws exception.

Seems like you guys might need more testing done on Vista platform.
