Today's 175th WiX Online Meeting happened exactly six years and one week after the very first meeting back on 22 August 2013. We were all so young back then...
WiX Online Meeting #175 Highlights

Issue triage
-
CustomActionData helper class does not handle Name/Value pairs where Value starts with equal sign (=), from @RPaulProxy, reports a bug in DTF when using what’s probably unexpectedly unusual characters that are used to delimit key names and values. We took the bug into WiX v4.x for investigation.
-
Burn: HTTP to HTTPS redirects fail to download when IE is configured to warn on zone change., is an issue @jchoover opened after a discussion on the wix-devs mailing list. We all agreed that redirecting from an HTTP URI to an HTTPS URI is safe and shouldn’t cause a Burn failure. Jacob already has pull requests out for both WiX v3 and WiX v4, so we’ll take a look at those shortly.
-
Splash Screen resizes on 4K monitor, from @MattHyman, reports a problem when using the
Bundle/@SplashScreenSourceFileattribute to have the Burn engine show a splash screen while loading the bootstrapper application on a HiDPI monitor. There’s more work to do to make Burn and WixStdBA HiDPI-aware but this particular issue is already fixed in WiX v4.0.
