XP SP2 breaks Captive-NTFS. How to work around this.
XP SP2 breaks Captive-NTFS. How to work around this. - "Windows XP Service Pack 2 seems to break the captive-ntfs installer. The bitdefender knowledge base lists a workaround for the issue but there are also a few other workarounds, including some especially for Knoppix users.
Basically, it appears that the captive-ntfs installer GUI can't find ntoskrnl.exe so the workaround involves mounting the NTFS partition read-only, and directly pointing the Captive NTFS installer to the Windows directory on that system

SourceForge.net: Project Info - Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset

SourceForge.net: Project Info - Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset - 'The Windows Installer XML (WiX) is a toolset that builds Windows installation packages from XML source code. The toolset supports a command line environment that developers may integrate into their build processes to build MSI and MSM setup packages.'

You may remember that WiX is MSFT's first open source project to be hosted on Sourceforge.  It seems to be rolling right along.
