[WiX-devs] Interested in helping on 3.8

2013-09-26 Thread Phill Hogland
I am interested in offering any help I can provide. I am relatively new to wix, msi, msbuild, c# but I have too many years of doing pure InstallScript setups and C++ services and drivers. Please let me know how I can help test, document, code, or whatever. While waiting for my legal/management t

This is great. I'm moving this over to wix-devs since that is where discussions about creating the WiX toolset are had (vs. conversations here about *using* the WiX toolset) On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 12:38 PM, Christopher Painter wrote: > I now see the SDK\VS2010 and SDK\VS2012 folders that includ

Hardly modified at all only extended and then I merged the changes back in to 3.8. The major change is that it builds standalone and references the installed headers/libs. Neil From: Hoover, Jacob [mailto:jacob.hoo...@greenheck.com] Sent: 26 September 2013 17:30 To: Windows Installer XML toolse

I wouldn’t want to cut out WixStdBA… Being in two different repos means that there is more effort involved keeping the two in sync. My hope was that someday we could merge WixExtBA into the official repository. WixExtBA should just be extending the functionality of WixStdBA, but I honestly have

What errors are you getting during the full build? We had a discussion about this in the past. Please, please, please help us root cause (and maybe fix) the issues that are in the WiX toolset so that everyone benefits. Pulling code out means we're splitting effort on improving the WiX toolset. Ho

That’s kind of the problem – I’m getting syntax errors when trying to do a full build, while building just wixstdba or Neil’s wixextba solution works. For now I’ll make my changes against the wixextba. -- Bruce From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Thursday, September 26, 201

Bruce, The DLL isn't linked per say, but rather it gets embedded into the bundle. The bundle building process generates a CAB of all compressed resources and appends it to the end of the bundle EXE. If you are just looking to tweak WixSTDBA and get it to deploy with your bundle, the easiest wa

I'm working on WixStdBA, and wondering what the minimum amount of code I need to build is. The wixstdba project creates WixStdBA.dll which doesn't seem to be distributed, so I guess it gets linked into something else that I can then replace in C:\Program Files (x86)\Wix Toolset v3.8. Can someon
