I hoped I could avoid this :-). Of course I can split it up. Another thing: I just found out that I broke the patch-concept of the WIX generator and that using a patchfile supports adding service installation and handling. So I will remove the unnecessary features I added before submitting the splitted patches. Will take a little time. > Thanks! > Nils Best Regards Michael -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
