    From what I can tell grepping through the WiX 3.0 source, the CommitCAScriptCleanup custom action function in src/ca/wixca/dll/cacleanup.cpp is not referenced in any XML anywhere. In the WiX 2 tree, it is referenced in src/ca/wixca/setup/wixca.wxs. It seems to me that that fragment should be added to src/ext/UtilExtension/wixlib/UtilExtension.wxs in 3.0 and 3.5.

  • w32api missing winhttp.h/def

    w32api is missing winhttp.h, and the import library for winhttp.dll. This library exists on Windows 2000 SP3, XP SP1 and above. The MSDN documentation for WinHTTP is available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384252(VS.85).aspx I have w32api version 3.13, but I have verified the lack of the header and def file in the cvs linked from cygwin.com.
