[WiX-users] Modifying Machine.Config Under 2 Different Features

2006-10-09 Thread Douglas Watts








WIX Version: 2.0.4415.0



My installer will install two different products (companion
products). While the user would normally install one on one machine and
the other on another machine, they could install both on the same
machine. I need to modify the MACHINE.CONFIG regardless of which feature
gets installed.



I am assuming that I will have a component that will use WiXs
XML support to make the modifications. What is the best way to structure
this so that the component gets installed regardless of which feature the user
selects? They may select both features. Also, each feature is
marked ConfigurableDirectory which means that they
could be different directory trees.

My first thought would be to create a third feature, which the
user has to install, which then does the modification of machine.config.


Then, you could put your xml modification in a new component, which gets
installed with the must install feature.
