[WiX-users] Bundle, payload and not copying to cache...
I'm trying to bootstrap SQL Server Standard installation in my Wix setup... So far I've done this: Directory structure looks like this: \SetupBootStrapper.exe \SQL\Setup.exe ß launches sql installer \SQL\x86\ \SQL\redist\ The problem is that when I run the package I see this in the logs... [0F14:03B0][2013-09-25T19:42:58]i338: Acquiring package: SQLServer2012, payload: SQLServer2012, copy from: C:\install\SQL\Setup.exe [0F14:03B0][2013-09-25T19:42:58]i000: Setting string variable 'WixBundleLastUsedSource' to value 'C:\install\' [0EF4:03A8][2013-09-25T19:42:58]i305: Verified acquired payload: SQLServer2012 at path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\.unverified\SQLServer2012, moving to: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\24876E94686BBFDD2EBBC5BD8FE20598EA85DB10\SQL\Setup.exe.

What I think I need is: * Using payload http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/payload.html to copy all directories and files to the Package Cache directory before initiating the installation * Telling to run from the SQL Server installation root directory instead of from the Package Cache, avoiding to copy without need to the directory. I will prefer the last option so it will (in theory) use a lot less space for installation.

[WiX-users] Burn, elevate only if needed
I've been wondering if there's a way to tell to the bootstrapped to ask to elevate to administrator only if the dependency is needed. As part of the bootstrapped process I require the .NET fx but even if it is already installed it request elevation just to check? Why? It should require elevation only if the installation of the requirement is needed. Any hint?

Re: [WiX-users] Wix + MSBuild + content files
So, in this moment my only options would be:
1. Copy manually the bitmap files to the temporary directory where wix is
compiling the msi file, probably in the BeforeBuild Target of the wixproj
file.
2. Modify the wxs or wxi file where the dialog specify the images and pass
a $(var.artdirectory) property (as a DefineConstants) in the MSBuild file.
==
3. (This is the ideal way but it will take time), Modify wix.targets, find
the way where I could specify and allow the option to copy
those Content to the temporary compile directory (obj/longnamehere)... If
this is not needed maybe it could be using another property like
Am I right or missing something?

[WiX-users] Wix + MSBuild + content files
Hi Wix user list!
I've been trying to solve a very small issue with a manually created Wix
proj file and resource files...
My wixproj file (done without Visual Studio but by hand) looks like this:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"; ToolsVersion="4.0">
$([System.IO.Directory]::GetParent('$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)'))
$(ParentDirectory)\
$(ParentDirectory)art
$(ArtDirectory)\
SetupSplash.bmp
Ok, I just removed a few lines that were too verbose... but as you may see
it looks ok...
Now, The problem is with the art... my project structure looks like this:
src
* setup (the wixproj is here)
* art (banners and images are here)
So, in build time the art stuff should be copied to the temporary build
directory for the wix package, I know that I could use a "copy" task but I
want to void it.
I was expecting that using the Content tag the art bmp file would be copied
to the temporary wix build directory, but it is not... I already tried with
OtherFiles tag...
Is there any way to specify resource files like this without doing the Copy
task manually in MSBuild? am I missing something?
I know that I could solve all of this just creating the wixproj in Visual
Studio and linking manually the files, but I really wanted to avoid it (for
learning purposes).
Thanks for any help!
