Re: [WiX-users] Problem in Getting the path of executable file and scripts in WIX Installer

[Supriya Khamesra]

Hi Nick,

Thanks for looking into the issue.   $(var.MyProject.TargetMachine) is used
in the solution to set the file path . It is not related to compling or
execution of the installer.

My concern is that if I am executing the installer from my development
machine where I have developed the installer using VS2012 the installer is
working fine. But if running on machine other than development then getting
error related to file not found.

So,please help him how I can get the path of various files needed for
 installer.



Regards

Supriya

 I don't understand. The $(var.MyProject.TargetMachine) is only used while
 compiling the installer and not while using the installer. After compiling
 the solution you should get one MSI file. You only need to deploy the MSI
 file to the machine where you want to install.

[WiX-users] Problem in Getting the path of executable file and scripts in WIX Installer

[Supriya Khamesra]

I want to develop a installer using WIX in which we want to run 3 set up
simultaneously: DB Script, Console application and Web service. I have
develop the WIX Installer solution using VS2012 and have insluded the
console application and webservice solutions too within the same solution.
So, when running the installer on the development machine installation is
successful as able to get the DB script file path,console application exe
and Web service files path.

Have used $(var.MyProject.TargetFileName) reference variable to get the exe
and other files path as mentioned in the project reference linkhttp://
wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/votive/votive_project_references.html
.

But when I take the bin folder of the installer to machine other than
development machine and execute it is not finding the file path and fails.

So,please help me how we can get the files and their path required during
the installation. I do not want to hard code the path .


Thanks  Regards
