Nice to see the series continued. Hopefully the next installment will address a question I raised in the comments? ;)

I'm second guessing myself and wondering if I included the URL in my last comment. Since my comment hasn't appeared yet, I will post again with the URL just incase. ;)

New to your blog, Rob - just wanted to start out by saying a big THANK YOU for clarifying this for me.

Any resources you'd recommend for more of this type of information about Windows Installer? I've been working in WfWI (Altiris - teh yuck), and I would much rather be using WiX; however, I don't feel like I know enough basic stuff about WI to be effective with either (or effectively explain WiX to our dev team). I think it's important that I understand the underlying tech on a fundamental level before I start ravenously advocating a switch.

Added to aggregator, FGJ! ^_^
