C# Class WixSharp.Extensions

Collection of generic WixSharp extension methods

Public Methods

Method	Description
AsWixVarToPath ( this path ) : string	'Interprets' a string as a WiX constant and expands into a proper Fiel System path. For example "DesktopFolder" will be expanded into "[SysDrive]:\Users\[user]\Desktop". Tis method is a logical equivalent of C# Environment.GetFolderPath. Though it handles discrepancies between 'special folders' mapping in .NET and WiX. The method will always be called from x86 runtime as MSI always loads ManagedUI in x86 host. From the other hand CustomActions are called in the deployment specific CPU type context.
Is64OS ( ) : bool	Returns `true` if the OS (this routine is executed on) has an x64 CPU architecture.
