Hi all,

I need help with the question above. Also, how can I ensure that the application installs for all users using the machine? I haven't really used WiX before.

You're going to have to read the tutorial. There's just no way around it. It should answer all your questions.

Was tempted to upvote, but "RTFM" is not a real answer. Better answer the question by quoting the documentation, which is a friendlier way to drive the point home.

I wasn't trying to be unfriendly. Wix drives me a nuts. Really, it was more of a lament.

Actually, for WiX v3, this is documented in the WiX.chm. @jeffamaphone, if you have suggestions how we can improve the WiX toolset, please let us know.

Okay, I got the solution. I added the WixUIExtension dll as a reference and then used the following before the project closing tag:

<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="INSTALLLOCATION" ></Property>
<UIRef Id="WixUI_InstallDir"/>

It works perfectly.
