The Fragment element contains an unhandled extension element 'util:RegistrySearch'

问题

Learning how to create Wix Booloader so that I can install .NET framework with my msi install package. Anyway I am stuck with an error for an unhandled extension element. Code is below

Can anyone please explain what my error is I have included the correct namespace and I can't see a reason for the error!

回答1:

The WiX extension for the namespace xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension is provided by a dll named WixUtilExtension (this assuming you are using Visual Studio). Right-click on the References node in your project and add a reference to the WixUtilExtension dll.
