WiX v3.0.4909.0 was released on Friday, 9-January-2009. You can download it from http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.4909.0/.
v3.0.4909.0 is the first build of 2009 and the third post-beta build of WiX v3.0. There are 38 v3.0 bugs still open in the bug tracker.
New features
- Mike did the significant work to implement the feature-bug 1982561 [[IIS extension failed on Vista SP1.]] with a significant change to the IIS extension’s custom action code. The change is a workaround to the change the IIS team made in Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008. It is not a switch to native support for IIS 7.
Bug fixes
- Mike fixed a bug in the XmlFile custom action that left changes on the last file (including the only file, if only one file is being modified).
- Eric changed the setup.exe chainer to extract embedded MSI packages using their original name.
- Rob fixed 2090736 [[Russian localization]].
- Rob fixed 2423034 [[WebServiceExtension does not allow existing web service ext.]].
- I fixed 2477563 [[FileSource attribute of the Directory element non-working.]].

Great to hear you guys worked on the IIS extension failure on Vista! I had a look at the source earlier to see if there was a quick solution, but none that I could see. Thanks for this. Now we can move to production with WiX 3.0!
Btw, do you know why the Windows Installer team made this change?
