Boy, oh boy. Do I feel like a shmuck or something. I sort of “extracted” myself from the WiX community, basically just because I felt so bad about my apparent slovenliness with this whole tallow extensions thing. Well, yesterday I finally posted the license agreement to Microsoft, signed by myself (about October 2004) and by our company's ......

Okay, I just got back from holiday (much needed), and found that all sorts of happenings were happening with the WiX toolset (here, here and on the mailing list). Sad I missed all the excitement <wink />. Anyway, the discussions about COM Advertising, and the way that both Windows Installer and the WiX toolset toolset handles them, have prompted ......

As I posted in my old blog I was a bit frustrated by the lack of categories in Blogger. In fact, this led to me starting up quite a few different blogs (here, here and here).
