Re: [WiX-users] ComponentGroup/@Directory - components inheriting directory targeted for future release?
The ComponentGroup/@Directory will not jump a reference. Today,
everywhere I can think of, the inheritance only flows the actual element
parent/child relationships.

Re: [WiX-users] ComponentGroup/@Directory - components inheriting directory targeted for future release?
That makes perfect sense then. To use the Directory attribute feature, I will just have to nest the components inside of the ComponentGroup. With so many ways to arrange these elements, I wonder which way is the cleanest or most readable or most maintainable. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/ComponentGroup-Directory-components-inheriting-directory-targeted-for-future-release-tp7574202p7575191.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
