Re: [WiX-users] Design recommendations and best practice

One thing to consider is making it granular such that if you later patch 
you can patch more granular resources. If you refer to one Component, 
for example, everything in that fragment is pulled in. So put each 
component in a separate fragment. Group custom actions and their binary 
(if binary CAs) into separate fragments. Even put the ProductVersion 
property in a separate fragment so that you can use author a patch 
family to update the ProductVersion or not (constituting a minor upgrade 
patch if ProductVersion changes).

[WiX-users] Design recommendations and best practice

2008-03-12 Thread Stas Klyachkovsky
Hi there,
I've decompiled my IS MSI and now I have one big .wxs file, which I want to 
fragment.
Before I start, I want to gather WiX design best practice. Could somebody share 
or recommend any resources?

Thanks,
Stas
