Re: [WiX-users] Request for enhancement - custom attributes and tags

[Vagmi M. <vag...@gm...>]

Hm.. That would be useful but changing the schema now would result in
heavy changes for people using the WIX toolset in the production
environment. Also, changing the schema frequently does not help the
WIX toolset users. It greatly increases the learning curve.

I would propose that you store the extra values in your own format and
generate a WXS file out of that. Also, if you could let us know the
list of extra hooks that you need, we could suggest a feasible
workaround.
