difx:Driver condition
In order to be able to install drivers depending on a given condition I would appreciate if difx:Driver would offer the definition of a condition for the MsiProcessDrivers action that is controlled by the Difxapp extension, preferrably as "Inner Text" which is not used so far.

difx:Driver/InstallExecuteSequence
For our Windows XP installation it is required to duplicate (CopyFile) a file *before* the MsiProcessDrivers action which becomes sequenced automatically by the Difxapp extension. Unfortunately the "difx:Driver/@Sequence" attribute does not control the sequencing (position) in the InstallExecuteSequence table. Thus a new element is required for the difx:Driver element of the...

Ampersand disappears in [WixBundleName]
The Caption and the Title may be customized in src\ext\BalExtension\wixstdba\Resources\RtfTheme.wxl in order to change the caption or the title of the bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication UI. By default Caption and Title point to the content of [WixBundleName]. If [WixBundleName] contains an ampersand then it disappears in the final UI window, e.g. if [WixBundleName] is...

Comment: Cannot install Votive from behind a proxy: 0x80070005
As a workaround, one can download the following files explicitly to a data sub directory which lies underneath the downloaded wix36.exe: http://wixtoolset.org/releases/v3.6.2527.0/data/core.cab http://wixtoolset.org/releases/v3.6.2527.0/data/core.msi http://wixtoolset.org/releases/v3.6.2527.0/data/msdk.cab http://wixtoolset.org/releases/v3.6.2527.0/data/msdk.msi...

Comment: The registration in VS 2010 is not performed.
Hi Bob, hi Fyodor, sorry for my recent comment: at that point of time I didn't the issue. In order to make amends I give you a hint where the bug is sitting: For VS 2010 (and maybe also for VS 11) the associated "CustomActionRef" element and its accompanying "UI/ProgressText" element in src\Setup\VotiveMsi\2010.wxs, line 31 src\Setup\VotiveMsi\11.wxs, line32 are lacking! As...

Comment: The registration in VS 2010 is not performed.
The last operational votive install was 3.6.2221.0. Thus 3.6.2520.0 and 3.6.2527.0 are corrupt. There must be a major problem with the new core.msi, since there lack about 23 tables!!! The InstallExecuteSequence is kind of default, i.e. there are no Custom Actions at all, no app search. Since I was not able to install from the internet due to the proxy problem (c.f. 3481691 ), I downloaded...

Cannot install Votive from behind a proxy: 0x80070005
As it is common business, my client's company develops its WiX packages behind a corporate firewall and download proxy. This leads to the following "Access is denied" error 0x80070005 (c.f. attached log, line 62ff): Error 0x80070005: Failed to send request to URL: http://wixtoolset.org/releases/3.6.2527.0/data/core.msi Unfortunately, there is no error feedback for the user from...
