[adding wix-users back]

If you go back into the archive, you'll see lots of discussions about why 
automatically generating Resources and Components isn't something that we do in 
the WiX toolset.  There are lots of repercussions with the organization of your 
Resource, Components and Features.  You need to be cognizant of the way your 
Components get laid out.

Now, why isn't there a tool like tallow in WiX v3?  Because no one has written 
it yet... no other reason than that.

I agree if u support this there won't be any rollback action

Is there an easy way to run tallow equivalent command to get a typical
.reg file into wxs?
I install wix 3.0.4318, but there's no tool to do that for me.

No, for good reason.  How would you reference count that content?  What
about rollback?  Patching?

Is there a method to simply include the .reg file and exec that on the
client as part of the install?

Re: [WiX-users] running .reg file

2008-10-04 Thread Neil Sleightholm
You can use tallow from v2, I don't think the format changed from v2 to
v3 but if it did you can use wixcop to update it. I guess this
functionality should be in heat but it seems to have gone.
