No. If you open an Msi in Orca you have the tables on the left and details on
the right.
Same way, if you open a Wxs file, list all the Directory, Components,
ComponentGroups,on the left.
So I click on Components it will list all the components on the right and

I'm sure this is old ground but we have many features in our installer

In Visual Studio, using the solution explorer, you can right click your

Hello,
There are tools that are build upon Wix.
- WixAware
- MSI Factory (Indigo Rose)
They have a buildin dialog designer (one more mature then the other). They
offer the possibility to start very quickly with a base setup. For advance
things you can always edit the .wxs files directly.
I didn't think there was going to be a guaranteed dependency on the
framework. Won't VS2010 still be able to build native code applications?

James,
It looks like some where in your wxs files you are referencing 'INSTALLDIR'
but you are not setting a value for it. Are you using WixUI or your own?
More information will be needed to help address the question.

Check that you are deploying all your dependencies. If your service depends on
3 assemblies and one of those depends on 2 other assemblies (for a total of 6
assemblies) and you forget to deploy just one of them, then the service will
fail to start because it can't load a dependent assembly.

Hey Henk,
1. A) Yes, the patches can be visible.
B) WIX and Windows Installer will not check dependencies by default. You
will need to write custom actions to look for components, files, registry
keys or directories to check what is installed or not. There are some custom
action types
Hey James,
I have never used that product. I would recommend you comb your .wxs files
for INSTALLDIR. It might be a DirectoryRef / and then it is not being
specified later as a Directory/ or other such scenarios.

Hey Sandun,
No, it is not possible to apply that look and feel to the WIX dialogs. You
would need to write your own dialogs and add your own bit maps. Even at that
point it is difficult to get the full experience. You would have to go
further to handling your own external UI.

The location of the source files to be included in my installer is not
hard-coded in my .wxs script, but rather a property is used that must be
defined when invoking candle. The .wxs file looks something like this:
File Id='MyApp' Name='MyApp.exe'
Source='$(var.SourceRoot)\MyApp.exe'

Your subject has MSBuild in the title. Am I to assume that the build process

Now you are asking me to give you information that is not a best practice

A winforms/wpf external ui handler wouldn't require everyone to need .net.
Just those people who wanted to use that capability.
Also the fact that many people don't currently implement a custom ui doesn't
make it such an edge case that the capability shouldn't exist. Personally I'd
say
WPF uses XAML which is a declarative UI and there are automated unit testing
frameworks for it.

Brian,
Sorry. :) That is just where I was told to have the setup install it.
So what you're saying is that there is no way to have the installer
default to D:\ instead of C:\Program Files\blah\blah\blah\? If
that's the case then they could just change the path in the drive\folder
pick list.
Hey James,
I wouldn't say there is no way to do that (you could hard code the D:\)
but it is recommend against.
Best to do what you mentioned below, allow the user to chose. In addition,
even if you were to hard code the path the user could always change it to
something else.
Thanks,
