It was significantly changed in v3, so I wouldn't expect it to work the same in v2. All the switches in this post are for WixCop v3.

The WixCop.exe obviously reads the settings file, but these messages still appear. I also tried to add an invalid Id which should produce an error, if the code at http://wix.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wix/wix/toolsrc/WixCop/Inspector.cs?revision=1.20&view=markup is equivalent to the 2.x code.

I have posted three different messages on this topic on the WiX-Users, but nobody has answered. I'll do that again, and I hope it works this time. Thanks again, Riyaz Dear Bob,

Thank you for the helps you ever do in the wix user list on sourceForge. I had a problem with custom actions, which couldn't find its solution. One of the files which is going to be installed on the target machine can not work if there is a space in the path, so I need to check the install path to ensure there is no space in it. I remember you once said that I may require a custom action, and that I might be able to use the >< operator to check for the space. I have searched for the operators, and found nothing useful. Do you mean that I must use jscript or vbscript operators? Is it possible for you to explain this a bit more for me? Thank you very much, and sorry to disturb you here. :-) Riyaz P.S. That would be a great help if you send me the answer via email, or post a comment (link) in this page, so I can track it. Thanks Dear Bob,
