Re: [WiX-users] memory usage

2006-12-07 Thread TibTam

Ok, but please help me in on doing that
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.


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.


Thanks in advance
Tamas

Re: [WiX-users] memory usage

2006-12-07 Thread TibTam
We have one wxs and many xmls with . These xmls contain the 
folders/files/registries. We have the UI in a different xml too.

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

Rob Mensching wrote:


Do you have just one gigantic XML file or are you splitting your 
product into many smaller .wxs files and letting the linker bring them 
back together?


 

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.

Re: [WiX-users] memory usage

2006-12-07 Thread TibTam
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
