I guess I may reorganise the project in this way in future, but until then I'll just forcefully include the fragment with obviously-named dummy custom-actions and refs :) Karim -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/What%27s-the-right-way-to-use-InstallExecuteSequence-from-a-fragment--tf4698457.html#a13473820 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

There are a number of *Ref elements that create such references but not a sequence reference. That's a little odd -- usually, you'd want to include a custom action with any scheeduling, so CustomActionRef does the trick. You can use another *Ref, like PropertyRef, too. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

If it is related to some UI things, an adequate UiRef element could help you to include it clearly. 2007/10/26, Karim MacDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hello, > > This may be a misunderstanding of how WiX is supposed to work. > Basically... > > I have a Fragment file, InstallExecuteSequence.wxs, that contains only an > InstallExecuteSequence node: > > > > > My problem is that this sequence doesn't by default get included within > anything I build.

[WiX-users] What's the right way to use InstallExecuteSequence from a fragment?
Hello, This may be a misunderstanding of how WiX is supposed to work. Basically... I have a Fragment file, InstallExecuteSequence.wxs, that contains only an InstallExecuteSequence node: My problem is that this sequence doesn't by default get included within anything I build. E.g.: candle InstallExecuteSequence.wxs candle SequenceTest.wxs (<= generated by Votive, with an appropriate node). light -out test.msi InstallExecuteSequence.wixobj SequenceTest.wixobj + look at test.msi in orca => InstallExecuteSequence table doesn't contain the SetProp1 CA. The workaround is easy enough: stick a dummy inside InstallExecuteSequence.wxs and a matching in SequenceTest.wxs, but does anyone know the proper way to get InstallExecuteSequence.wixobj linked into test.msi, or am I missing something..? thanks for any help, Karim -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/What%27s-the-right-way-to-use-InstallExecuteSequence-from-a-fragment--tf4698457.html#a13431009 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
