"Its more about context than content."

Qik is working on my phone again so I thought I’d try getting back on the video horse. I conned Bob into holding the phone for me. But, I was still nervous about starting. So, we were talking a little bit and I realized that I was starting to address a comment left on my […]

Promoting from within.

Friday, 24. October 2008 at 1:00 pm

For most people this isn’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’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 […]

WiX weekly builds back on track.

Friday, 17. October 2008 at 10:45 pm

I just received notification that this week’s weekly build of the WiX toolset has just been released. Since SourceForge moved their servers from California to Chicago we’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 […]

What are .wixlibs and why would you use them?

Friday, 10. October 2008 at 12:11 pm

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 […]

Correction: Google Chrome uninstalls… eventually.

Sunday, 14. September 2008 at 1:59 am

In my original dissection of Google Chrome’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 […]

Google Chrome… updates without asking.

Thursday, 11. September 2008 at 7:53 am

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’t so much a surprise as it is a departure from the norm and I’m curious what you all think about it.

Dissecting the Google Chrome setup.

Thursday, 4. September 2008 at 11:01 am

I thought the next installation package I would evaluate from the inside out would be the Windows Live Writer Tech Preview. However, before I got around to that, lots of noise was made about Google Chrome’s release so I thought I’d pile on and dig in. As usual, I found a few interesting things.
Initiating the […]
