    <p>I have a VS2010 WiX project with a main .wxs file and an empty .wxs file. The empty .wxs is overwritten in the prebuild event of the project, using heat.exe to harvest everything from a console exe. The exe has InstallUtil hooks, and in the days of VS setup project the exe was installed as a Service.</p> <p>I tried to use the <code>&lt;ServiceInstall&gt;</code> bits in WiX, but when I specified the executable and other elements to get the Service installed, light complained of a collision between the .exe in the main .wxs and the .exe in the heat-generated .wxs.</p> <p>I think Custom Action is not the best way to do the service installation, so I am attempting XSL transformation to get the file out that I don't want (it's a single file out of 100).</p> <p>My XSL must have a problem, because it is not matching/filtering. Here it is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl" xmlns:Wix="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"&gt; &lt;xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" /&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="@* | node()"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match=" Component[File/@Source='$(var.bindir)\servicehost.exe']"/ &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>The parts of the .wxs I need to rip out look like this:</p> <pre><code> .... &lt;Component Id="cmpD64BE1790BFAF0F05DA37558F5D72572" Guid="{6C70DDC8-349B-4B66-A415-DE08E302C2A8}"&gt; &lt;File Id="fil24DFDFCA765C9A8BBB8854CE66AED0E8" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.bindir)\servicehost.exe" /&gt; &lt;/Component&gt; .... &lt;ComponentRef Id="cmpD64BE1790BFAF0F05DA37558F5D72572" /&gt; .... </code></pre> <p>What is the best way to make this work?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
