Re: [WiX-users] Adding Bootstrapper code to wxs file. (Somebody, please guide....)
Yep... definitely shouldn't be moving built-in files like msbuild.exe. Lots of bad things can happen as most of those sorts of tools assume they are in a particular location when you're using them. Better to qualify your path to the file or use the windows path to get a reference to it via batch files or something.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding Bootstrapper code to wxs file. (Somebody, please guide....)
Is that all the diagnostic output? The "Initial Properties" section seems to be missing. Did you move or copy the MSBuild.exe executable? If so, don't.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding Bootstrapper code to wxs file.
Thanks for the reply. So will the bootstrapper file be .xml file? How can I include xml file into wxs file? Is there any good tutorial avaliable on bootstrapper? I find it very confusing topic with very little help available.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding Bootstrapper code to wxs file.
Hina, You have to split up that file into 2 files, one for the bootstrapper and one for wix.

[WiX-users] Adding Bootstrapper code to wxs file.
Hello, I have a basic question. I am new to XML. I am trying to add a bootstrapper code to my wxs file. http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";> .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Installer 3.1 Visual J# redistributable SQL Server 2005 Express Edition http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";> But it is giving me the error "XML document cannot contain multiple root level elements". How to use the bootstrapper code to create the installer? Is there any example available?
