WiX v3.0.4415.0–code-named Heat-Wave-in-Seattle?!–was released on Friday, 15-August-08. You can download it from http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.4415.0/.
New features
- Jason added to DTF support for MSI 4.5’s embedded UI, along with a sample that uses WPF for the UI.
- Eric St. John added support for standard command-line switches to the WiX v3 bootstrapper.
Bug fixes
- 1273447: Can’t put RegLocator inside DrLocator
- 1613071: Unable to save VS project
- 1832500: Preprocessor: nested include uses wrong directory
- 2051748: SqlDatabase table definition error
- I worked around a bug in MSI 4.5’s support for embedded UI. The FileName column purports to be of the Filename type, which requires both short (8.3) and long file names. It turns out only one file name, long or short, is supported.
- Aaron fixed bugs in the ShellExec custom action topic and the how-tos that referred to it.
- Jungwook Bae, of the Visual Studio team integrating WiX, fixed some bugs in Votive to make it behave more like C# projects.

I tried to look at that WPF sample but the XAML file is missing from the relaease. I then tried to browse CVSWeb and none of the files are in the /wix/src/DTF/Samples/EmbeddedUI area.
Yep. I have a fix out for code review for next week’s build.
Sorry if its a dumb question, but does this mean we can start to create WPF screens for our installers?
Yes, it’s possible to create installer UI with WPF but it does require you to create an external UI handler to do so.
I’m having a problem accessing this release. I get an error from Sourceforge - looks like the files aren’t there.
What’s the error? I was able to download both MSIs and both ZIPs when I wrote this entry.
The problem with access is that it is build 4415 not 4515 as link says
Heh. Yeah, that’d do it.
Fixed, thanks.
