After a brief hiatus, WiX v3.0.4603.0 was released on Friday, 10-October-08. You can download it from http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.4603.0/.
New features
- Eric implemented his own feature request to support parameter files for event manifests (1903673).
- I implemented x64 and ia64 support for WixDifxAppExtension (1962701).
Note that this change required moving the binary .wixlibs out of the extension and into companion files. The .wixlibs (difxapp_ia64.wixlib, difxapp_x64.wixlib, difxapp_x86.wixlib) must be in the same directory as WixDifxAppExtension.dll. - Rob added support for calling 64-bit processes in 64-bit directories from CAQuietExec (1998496).
Bug fixes
- Mike wins the prize for oldest bug fixed: 1215626: WebApplication Uninstall does not remove COM+ Application.
- Rob fixed 1930640: PFXImportCertStore() fails to delete private key containers and again with 2139051: certificate install fails.

- Jason fixed a bug in Heat when harvesting subdirectories from MSBuild project output.
Is there an extension in the works for reporting services? I saw an old post in the list from someone saying that they had written one and I found some code on Neil’s blog showing how to consume the webservice into an EXE but I’ve not seen anything more holistic.
Not that I know of.
Hi!
Nice to meet you, i’m from mexico and i’d like to know i you’ve worked with DifxApp in Wix v.3 i am trying to build an msi to install some drivers but it seems like version 3 of wix does not accept the library. any idea about how to make it work?, i’ve been working with v.2 of wix and i don’t have problems, it does work great, but when i’m trying to move to v3 i have this problem.
i’ve tried using difxapp_ia64.wixlib, difxapp_x64.wixlib, difxapp_x86.wixlib and DifxAppExtension.dll in the same directory, but it doesn’t work.
Hope you can help me
Thanks!
