Yes, I've found those. However, Rob is correct, and the license only allows you to ship vs_piaredist.exe unmodified. Regards, John -- Come build with us!

The exe is the only thing I can find reference to, and the fact that it is install in c:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules says something :) > Also, if you did that, what Component GUID would you give it? Would it matter what GUID it had if it was installed in my application's directory and not in the GAC? Your point about licensing is valid, however, and it looks like the only way to redistribute is via the exe, so I'll have to do that. Thanks, John -- Come build with us!

Re: [WiX-users] Deploying mshtml PIA assembly
I took a look at vs_piaredist.exe, and found you can extract the .cab or .msi from it (using WinRAR or other such tools). Perhaps you can just grab one of those and package that up in your install?

Subject: [WiX-users] Deploying mshtml PIA assembly Hi, My application now has a dependency on mshtml. I therefore need to deploy Microsoft.mshtml.dll, the PIA assembly. The only redistributable I can find is vs_piaredist.exe - is this really the only way of redistributing the file? I'd rather not add another step to my bootstrapper or add a custom action. I'm tempted to just deploy the file locally in my application's directory. Are there any issues doing that? Regards, John -- Come build with us!

Re: [WiX-users] Deploying mshtml PIA assembly
I'm not sure if the .exe is the only thing available but if there is no license for you to redist the PIA file with your application stand-alone then it isn't legal to do so. Also, if you did that, what Component GUID would you give it? On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 7:25 AM, John Hall wrote: > Hi, > > My application now has a dependency on mshtml.
