		<title>WiX v3 toolset end of the Beta imminent.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week Bob pushed the latest WiX v3 release to SourceForge. The original intention was to declare that drop as the final Beta build for WiX v3. However, I changed my mind for two reasons.
First, I know a lot people don&#8217;t pick up weekly releases, only SourceForge drops. Sad but true. Since it had been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey&#160;all,
The Windows engineering teams are putting together plans for how application installation and&#160;servicing will work in future versions of the operating system. We would like to take this opportunity to hear from you to better&#160;understand your&#160;current pain points and&#160;needs going forward.
We have put together a survey to collect your valuable feedback. We hope you will [...]]]></description>

		<title>MSI SDK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The MSI SDK (also known as the Windows Installer SDK) is here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc185688.aspx. For some reason the major search engines don&#8217;t rank it highly.
You can also download the MSI SDK (which gets you the documentation in .CHM format plus several useful tools such as Orca).

		<title>Geek humor: I am a duplicated bot.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while something amusing happens on the wix-users mailing list that makes me chuckle. Sometimes, when they are short, I post them to my Twitter account. This morning I came across a new email to the mailing that started with &#8220;Hi Rob&#8221; which seemed a bit odd since there are hundreds of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anniversary at the end of the beginning.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A year ago I wrote about the quiet day of reflection on my first wedding anniversary.  Today was a weekday, a work day and my job rarely allows the time to sit back and think about where I&#8217;ve been and what I&#8217;ve done personally.  So I bailed early and ran a few errands gathering components [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to determine if you are installing on Windows Client vs. Windows Server.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This question just floated by and I had a similar question recently so I thought I&#8217;d capture it here to point search engines in the right direction.
Q:  How do I determine if my MSI is being installed on Windows Client or Windows Server?
A:  The Windows Installer provides the MsiNTProductType Property that is set to &#8220;1&#8243; [...]]]></description>

		<title>WiX Working Group Wrap-up, October 23rd 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This wrap up is mostly content free but maybe the context is interesting.

If it hasn&#8217;t been clear from Bob&#8217;s weekly highlights, we&#8217;re all about fixing bugs in the WiX toolset right now. Not much to report this week but next week should have more interesting details&#8230; and I&#8217;ll hopefully have my hair cut.

		<title>Promoting from within.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For most people this isn&#8217;t going to be a surprise and many may even ask what took so long. To be truthful the keys were granted a few weeks ago, I&#8217;m just finally getting around to blogging about it.
Over the last couple years, Bob Arnson has become a vital member of the WiX toolset going [...]]]></description>

		<title>WiX weekly builds back on track.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just received notification that this week&#8217;s weekly build of the WiX toolset has just been released. Since SourceForge moved their servers from California to Chicago we&#8217;ve been having issues getting builds posted regularly. The mistakes were all on our side (we missed the memo about some key configuration changes) and after a few goofed [...]]]></description>

		<title>What are .wixlibs and why would you use them?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the cool contributions Visual Studio is making to the WiX toolset is the attention of a technical writer, Martin. Improving the WiX documentation is a constant request so any help someone is willing to provide is much appreciated. Of course, when there is very little information about a particular feature then technical writers [...]]]></description>

I have a few general questions but any comments are welcome as long as they are constructive and actionable. My goal is to use this data&#160;to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Correction: Google Chrome uninstalls&#8230; eventually.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ In my original dissection of Google Chrome&#8217;s setup I noted that the Google Updater was left running after I uninstalled. After a pretty smooth installation experience, that partial uninstall left a bad impression on me. Well, it turns out that my observation was only half correct. A comment was left on my blog and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Last time I took apart the Google Chrome setup experience and came away disappointed that the Google Updater got left behind. This morning the Google Updater had another surprise. Well, it isn&#8217;t so much a surprise as it is a departure from the norm and I&#8217;m curious what you all think about it.
 
The background.
