Set the PreprocessorVariable. It's an optional string parameter that will substitute SourceDir for another variable name (ex: var.Dir). -Original Message- From: Satyaprakash J [mailto:sat...@smartek21.com] Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 2:54 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] SourceDir Hi I run the following command to generate the attached .wxs file. heat dir \\192.168.10.61\Share\WebAppBuildDef\WebAppBuildDef_20100808.2\Debugfile:///\\192.168.10.61\Share\WebAppBuildDef\WebAppBuildDef_20100808.2\Debug -gg -sfrag -sreg -template:product -out directory.wxs -cg WebAppComponentGroup In the directory.wxs file the Source attribute of File element is set to SourceDir\FileName.

Re: [WiX-users] Sourcedir
Thanks for the reply. Since we're using WIX for MSI authoring and examining a bootstrapper architectchure, we've been experimenting with Office 2007. It's the biggest WIX authored bootstrapper driven install we could think of. Specifically I'm interested in exactly how they can through Group Policy assign a single MSI to a machine which then appears to copy or install the installation media to the client machine, and finishes by launching the setup.exe on the local machine. Getting a handle on how Microsoft is doing this will greatly help us offer Group Policy deployment scenarios to our customers. Probably way too much detail, but to get back to the original question of the SourceDir property, I've only been able to reliably detect Group Policy deployment and launch the custom action to trigger the bootstrapper which never actually launches anything because I haven't found a reliable way to find where the network MSI is running from. Any ideas are welcome. -Original Message- From: Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 12:16 PM To: Paul McCloskey Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Sourcedir In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Paul McCloskey [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: We're exploring using a bootstrapper type install architecture for our suite of products.

Otherwise, the sequence of things will always be wrong because the bootstrapper should run before your product MSI runs. -- The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline -- DirectX 9 draft available for download http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html Legalize Adulthood! http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/ - SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Hello, I'm trying to find a reliable way to get the path to the running MSI. Once I have the path, I'd like to spawn an executable that is relative to the MSI in a custom action. I'd like to try and do this as early as possible in the execute sequence. I've tried using SOURCEDIR to mixed results, and I've tried using C++ functions like GetModuleFileName, and I've tried using the CURRENTDIRECTORY property. What is complicating my approach is that this has to happen during Group Policy assignment so most of these functions return C:\Windows\system32, which is where the main msiexec is running from. Any ideas? - SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
