Re: [WiX-users] example Wix project
Hello Richard, I am still trying to find out some information as subtle advantages of WIX over InstallShield looking for a demo project. Do you have any other example project which you can share with me? Also are there any power point slides or any info available?

The following reasons are my reason: * It is free * It is open-source so if there is a big problem that I need fixed NOW I can invest the time/money to fix it * It is being used by Microsoft's largest products = well tested * It is just a bunch of command line tools = much nicer build process. I'm not on the inside (of Microsoft) but from my understanding Microsoft Office and Visual Studio are both using WiX for installers (someone correct me if I'm wrong here!). If that is correct, those are good demos projects I guess! - Adam - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

IMO, the advantages of WiX over InstallSUCK aren't subtle, they are massive. Every release of InstallSUCK has had problems, because frankly that company doesn't give a sh!t about the quality of the product they ship. Every time you get a new problem, they try to extract another few thousand dollars from you to make you upgrade to the latest version, even though that never fixes your problem. Yeah, I hate their product and their company. Its an opinion I've arrived at through use of their product and interactions with their company at various employers since 1998. I see no sign that things are changing at that company or in newer releases of that product. WiX is not only free to obtain, it is high quality and reliable. The user community gives you better support than you get by sending money to InstallSUCK. -- 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/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] example Wix project
Hi, Is there any example Wix project available which shows the installation of an executable e.g. adobe reader if the registry key is missing? I need to investigate WIX to find out if it can be our installation tool. Currently we use InstallShield, I need to give demo with a sample project to give pros cons. So far I have been able build a sample project, but stuck with dependency installations/ bootstrapper. Any help, comment is appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/example-Wix-project-tf4655657.html#a13302644 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
