We decided to use includes because we have huge directory tree and 
some parts of the tree are in the main wxs file, and some are in the 
included xmls. We need to refer to the folders from the xmls to the 
wxs (for example at shortcut creation).  And it is possible that in 
two different xml files we use the same directory.


All that's possible with separate source files. I'd suggest taking a 
look at the src/Setup directory in a recent WiX v3 build. It has the 
source for the WiX v3 installer and demonstrates a good way to organize 
your setup sources.

Maybe undersandable if i show you a sample.
I'm sure that there can be lot of problems with the design, but we are 
not fully familiar with all parts of the wix. :( Still learning.  Please 
tell me all problems that you find.


First of all.
We have different xmls for ComponentRefs and different for the 
Folders/Components. We needed this to be able to manage the files easily 
by scripts.
We have more different users on the target PC, and we have to be able to 
install different shortcuts and permissions for the users.

You can find some sample code below.
Sorry for the long post, but i can not make is shorter. I'm waiting for 
all helps and comments.

Re: [WiX-users] memory usage

2006-12-07 Thread Cullen Waters 
If you make your project use multiple .wxs files, rather than a single .wxs 
with a bunch of .wxi (which all get added in to the main file), then candle 
should seem faster, and the processing would show as spikes, rather than 
constant usage.

If we can manage the xml files to be smaller, that can speed up the candle?

There is nothing special in the compiler.  Normally it completes in seconds 
because there is very little IO.  However, if you make one gigantic XML file 
then candle is probably spending all of its time slogging through the 
XmlDocument.

Eeek!  Don't do that!  Organize your product into many different Fragments and 
let the linker do the work of hooking the parts back together.  Include files 
are really only intended to make it easy to share things like  and 
such.  IMHO, software projects should have 0 - 1 Include files (i.e. 
*extremely* few).

When you organize like this, I expect you'll find that candle will use very 
little memory and *fly* through the processing.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] memory usage







The result msi is 250MB.



About 2500 files are being installed and more then 20 000 registry keys.



We split the wix files into many parts.



We have one wxs containing the projects and main folders, and many xmls.



These xmls are included into the main wxs.







Regards,



Tamas

Hi!







We have a quite big project and wix uses huge amount of memory. (more than



500 MBs)



Is there any possibility to maximize the memory usage?



How does the package generation works?







Thanks a lot

Re: [WiX-users] memory usage

2006-12-07 Thread TibTam 

off topic: Sorry, i pressed Reply instaed of Reply All...

on:
You are right, light uses lot of memory. About 300-350 MB normally, but 
some said that on his machine it uses more than 500 MB. This sounds a 
bit strange to me, because he uses the same files and method to create 
the msi. Is this posibble?


But out bigger problem is the CPU usage, what is made by candle.exe. 
Light uses about the same memory size that candle uses(bit more), but 
light does not use the CPU at 100% for all the time. Could you please 
help me to understand why candle uses the CPU at 100% for long minutes? 
(10-15-20 mins, depending on the machine) And what can we do to reduce 
this? (I mean to reduce the time while candle uses the CPU.)


If i'll have time, i'll check the code for optimization, but i can't 
promise anything. :)

Thanks
Tamas

I assume all your seeing the memory hit in the linker (light.exe), 
right?  I haven't checked the memory usage in a while but your project 
is very large so that might be a very reasonable number right now.  I 
don't think Office, VS, or SQL complain about the memory usage for 
their products because they probably all have at least a GB in all the 
machines and I'm not sure you'd immediately notice how much memory is 
being used.


 

That said, if you wanted to profile the WiX toolset and found places 
where we could optimize our memory usage, that'd be really cool.

But the working scenario is the same if i set the compressed to No.
