Re: [WiX-users] A new plan for WiX v3.5, introducing WiX v3.6

2010-04-30 Thread John H. Bergman (XPedient Technologies)
This seems like a good and sound plan.  Will 3.5 be moved over to codeplex as 
well (or updated so the source build from a version control repository)?

Subject: [WiX-users] A new plan for WiX v3.5, introducing WiX v3.6

I just posted a blog entry about changes to the WiX v3.5 plan:
http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/4/28/Change-of-plans-for-WiX-v3.5.

This plan is based on feedback sent here (and other places) about getting a 
stable WiX toolset that supports Visual Studio 2010. It pains me to bump Burn 
again but the simple fact is Burn isn't going to be ready soon.

I also want to point out the plan to drop Visual Studio 2005 support from*WiX 
v3.6 *. We aren't fixing bugs in Votive for VS2005 any more and I know there 
were some big problems left. It seems that people have all moved to VS2008 and 
now VS2010.

As always, feedback is welcome.

Will do. I don't actually expect to do work to remove stuff from WiX v3.5.
Much like ClickThrough in WiX v3.0, pieces of Burn will be laying around the
code. IIS7 though will be much more useful. 

Might just disable it by default... but I think IIS7 will come together.

Hi Rob,

thanks for the update. 

Regarding IIS7, it would be nice to have IIS7 support in 3.5 even if it's not 
stable (i.e. mark it as experimental).

Regards
Stephen
