Custom Extension XML Validation (CRITICAL) + +**FAQ Context**: WiX v6 enforces stricter XML schema validation at parse time. + +**Impact on PowerShellWixExtension**: +- Custom extension elements (e.g., ``) cannot have inner text or CDATA unless the schema explicitly declares it +- WiX 6 does NOT provide `mixed="true"`, `allowInnerText`, or `useCData` schema properties +- This is a **breaking change** from WiX 4/v3 + +**Our Solution**: +- Refactored from inner text/CDATA to Base64-encoded `Script` attribute +- Aligns with WiX 6's attribute-first design philosophy +- Maintains backwards compatibility at the compiler level + +**Relevance**: This was the root cause of all WIX0400 errors we encountered. + +--- + +### 2. Platform-Specific Custom Actions + +**FAQ Context**: WiX v4 (WiX 6) introduces platform-specific custom actions with naming convention: +- Prefix: `Wix4` (for WiX v4/v6; future versions may use `Wix5`, etc.) +- Suffix: `_X86`, `_X64`, `_A64` (for x86, x64, Arm64) + +**Example**: `QueryNativeMachine` becomes: +- `Wix4QueryNativeMachine_X86` +- `Wix4QueryNativeMachine_X64` +- `Wix4QueryNativeMachine_A64` + +**Impact on PowerShellWixExtension**: +- Our custom actions follow this pattern (handled transparently by the extension) +- When users directly reference actions in `InstallExecuteSequence`, they use the simplified names +- The compiler extension resolves to platform-specific versions automatically + +**Relevance**: Important for understanding how PowerShell custom actions are named internally, even though users don't see these names directly. + +--- + +### 3. Namespace Continuity + +**FAQ Context**: Despite being version 6, WiX continues using `http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs` namespace for backwards compatibility. + +**Impact on PowerShellWixExtension**: +- PowerShellWixExtension schema uses `http://schemas.gardiner.net.au/PowerShellWixExtensionSchema` +- No namespace change needed for WiX 6 (namespace remains independent of WiX version) +- Maintains compatibility with merge modules built for WiX v3/v4 + +**Relevance**: Clarifies that schema namespace is NOT the issue; inner text/CDATA validation is. + +--- + +### 4.

Not part of PowerShellWixExtension itself, but important for test infrastructure. + +--- + +### 5. Backwards Compatibility Strategy + +**FAQ Context**: WiX v4 introduced a prefix/suffix versioning scheme to maintain backwards compatibility: +- Extensions renamed custom actions to avoid conflicts with WiX v3 versions +- Allows merging WiX v3 merge modules with WiX v4 packages +- Future-proofs for WiX v5 (prefix would become `Wix5`, `Wix6`, etc.) + +**Impact on PowerShellWixExtension**: +- Our compiler supports both old inner text format AND new Script attribute format +- Allows gradual migration for users with existing WiX packages +- Prevents forced breaking changes while encouraging best practices + +**Relevance**: Informed our design decision to keep inner text fallback in PowerShellCompilerExtension.cs. + +--- + +## Migration Decisions Based on FAQ + +### ✅ Decisions We Made (FAQ-Aligned) + +1. **Attribute-First Design**: Moved from inner text to Script attribute + - Aligns with WiX 6 philosophy of attributes over inner text + - Eliminates XML validation issues + +2. **Backwards Compatibility**: Compiler supports both formats + - Follows WiX 6's approach to backwards compatibility + - Users can migrate gradually + +3. **Platform-Specific Handling**: Custom actions use platform suffixes + - Transparent to users (extension handles it) + - Follows WiX 6 conventions + +4. **Schema Independence**: No namespace change needed + - Confirmed by FAQ that WiX v4/v6 keeps v4 namespace + - PowerShellWixExtension schema is independent + +### ⚠️ Issues We Avoided (FAQ-Informed) + +1. **Mixed Content Trap**: Never attempted `mixed="true"` in schema + - FAQ confirms this doesn't work reliably for custom extensions + - Saved us from days of debugging + +2. **Dialog Customization Complexity**: Deleted outdated ProgressDlg.wxs + - FAQ explains platform-specific variants are needed + - Simple deletion was cleaner than trying to fix it + +3. **Custom Action Naming**: Didn't create custom elements for every action + - Followed FAQ guidance that extensions should handle naming + - Simplified our schema + +--- + +## Key Takeaways + +| Topic | WiX 6 Change | Our Response | +|-------|-------------|--------------| +| **Inner Text** | Not allowed on custom elements | Switched to Script attribute | +| **Platform Support** | Now supports x86, x64, Arm64 | Custom actions use platform suffixes | +| **Namespace** | Still v4 for backwards compatibility | No change needed | +| **Schema Versioning** | Uses prefix/suffix pattern (Wix4) | Aligns with our design | +| **Backwards Compat** | First-class concern | Compiler supports legacy format | + +--- + +## Testing Recommendations (from FAQ Patterns) + +The FAQ doesn't directly address testing, but from its examples, we can infer: + +1. **Multi-platform Testing**: Test builds with `-arch x86`, `-arch x64`, `-arch arm64` +2. **Merge Module Compatibility**: Test merging WiX v3 modules with WiX 6 packages +3. **Custom Action Verification**: Confirm correct action names in final MSI tables +4. **Dialog Customization**: Ensure custom dialog sets handle all three platforms + +--- + +## References + +- **FireGiant WiX FAQ**: https://docs.firegiant.com/wix/whatsnew/faqs/ +- **WiX Release Notes**: https://docs.firegiant.com/wix/whatsnew/releasenotes/ +- **PowerShellWixExtension Migration Notes**: ../WIX6_MIGRATION_NOTES.md +- **PowerShellWixExtension Schema**: ../PowerShellWixExtension/PowerShellWixExtensionSchema.xsd + +## Conclusion + +The FAQ review validated our migration approach and provided important context about WiX 6's design philosophy.
