> You need a > separate 64-bit installer for this. Yes, of course, that's what I have (well, actually, I've got 1 script for both x86 and x64 plus a bit of trickery to get it all to work). Anyway, got it working. I was accidentally including the x86 binary instead of the x64 one in my installa

Okay I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out my following wix problem but I've yet to find an solution that works. The original goal was to run a bat file that had already been written right at the welcome screen that would do a hardware requirements pre-check at the beginning of the i

2010-09-01 Thread Wheeler, Blaine (DSHS/DCS)
Choosing the drive with the largest available space is a function of the Windows Installer, not Wix. You can set the ROOTDRIVE property if you are certain where you application should go. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371372(v=VS.85).aspx -Original Message- From: Prabhat_IE [

Not to discourage you but in early 3.0 versions I have encountered bugs that prevented me from creating binary delta patches with Pyro. Patching the full file was fine. I was too busy to follow up on the bugs or check if they were fixed in later releases so I don't know what is the state right n

BTW, one last comment.   I'm often irritated by some of the crap packages that I have to bootstrap and we often get blamed when things go wrong that were outside of our control.   Because of this we created a novel use case:   The bootstrapper that only does prereqs and not our MSI. In other

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping and Burn

That is the correct solution. Heat.exe exports COM from .NET assemblies without issue for anything I've given it including DLL/TLB pairs. Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment & IT Administrator T: +44 (0) 141 945 8500 F: +44 (0) 141 945 8501 http://www.iesve.com **Design, Simulate + Innovate
