COM+ Failing to register when installed per machine
I'm creating a single installer that can do both 32 and 64 bit and have set the options to install for all users if an admin and to install per user if not.

Re: How do I determine if an inline powershell script has been blocked or simply failed
Thanks -- that's unfortunate, but might be the process I have to go with. The PS process was easy though and could be used to embed logic that might not run if C# isn't installed.

Re: Transitioning from a Visual Studio Installer Project to AI and I'm not understanding versioning
Thank you Daniel, So, I did see that is how AI is doing this, but its not how Visual Studio Installer works.

Transitioning from a Visual Studio Installer Project to AI and I'm not understanding versioning
I'm sure this is something that has been covered before, but I'm not finding it on the board. Here's my problem. I've been using Visual Studio's Installer Project (or a version of it) for almost 20 years. I've extended my needs through custom actions and hacking the msi tables directly with vbscript...
