[wix-users] How to modify registry in Custom Action(s)

[turik88 at yandex.ru]

Hi Harald,

The "Binary" element just is just a reference to CA library.

<Binary Id="Some.CA" 
        SourceFile="$(var.My.WixExtension.Wixlib.CustomActions.TargetDir)$(var.My.WixExtension.Wixlib.CustomActions.TargetName).CA.dll" />
