Re: [WiX-users] Problem in Getting the path of executable file and scripts in WIX Installer
Hello All, Thanks for understanding my issue. I have found the solution to my problem. It was all because of harvesting the solution. I was missing the step so was not able to run the MSI on machine other then the development. I have then perform the harvesting of the Installer and it worked. If there is any other guy like me then can follow the below link which explains the proper steps to generate successfully MSI. http://blog.bartdemeyer.be/2013/10/create-an-installer-for-website-with-wix-part-1/ Thanks Supriya -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Problem-in-Getting-the-path-of-executable-file-and-scripts-in-WIX-Installer-tp7594628p7596199.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!

Re: [WiX-users] Problem in Getting the path of executable file and scripts in WIX Installer
It's not exactly clear what you're doing, but the way this works (to state the obvious maybe) is that you build the MSI file on your dev machine and then take that MSI file to other machines and run it to install the product. If you have a problem installing the MSI file on another machine, then describe it exactly because describing it as "related to file not found" isn't useful. MSI install failures give error text and an error number, they would help, and running with a msiexec command line to produce a verbose log will also tell you what's going on. --- Phil Wilson On Sun, May 11, 2014 at 10:06 PM, wrote: > Dit mailadres is niet meer in gebruik.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem in Getting the path of executable file and scripts in WIX Installer
Hi Nick, Thanks for looking into the issue. $(var.MyProject.TargetMachine) is used in the solution to set the file path . It is not related to compling or execution of the installer. My concern is that if I am executing the installer from my development machine where I have developed the installer using VS2012 the installer is working fine. But if running on machine other than development then getting error related to file not found. So,please help him how I can get the path of various files needed for installer.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem in Getting the path of executable file and scripts in WIX Installer
I don't understand. The $(var.MyProject.TargetMachine) is only used while compiling the installer and not while using the installer. After compiling the solution you should get one MSI file. You only need to deploy the MSI file to the machine where you want to install. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Problem-in-Getting-the-path-of-executable-file-and-scripts-in-WIX-Installer-tp7594628p7594630.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?

[WiX-users] Problem in Getting the path of executable file and scripts in WIX Installer
I want to develop a installer using WIX in which we want to run 3 set up simultaneously: DB Script, Console application and Web service. I have develop the WIX Installer solution using VS2012 and have insluded the console application and webservice solutions too within the same solution. So, when running the installer on the development machine installation is successful as able to get the DB script file path,console application exe and Web service files path. Have used $(var.MyProject.TargetFileName) reference variable to get the exe and other files path as mentioned in the project reference linkhttp:// wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/votive/votive_project_references.html . But when I take the bin folder of the installer to machine other than development machine and execute it is not finding the file path and fails. So,please help me how we can get the files and their path required during the installation. I do not want to hard code the path .
