Re: [WiX-users] File is not overwritten despite all evidence and logic to the contrary

Thanks for the reply, Bob. I did not intentionally invoke patching in this process. I did think it was strange that the source directory appeared to be a patch-related folder on the local system. It may be relevant that: - this installation package uses multiple-instance transforms, and -

[WiX-users] Including other files to Wix project's output

I want to include a script that runs the MSI installers built by Wix into the output directory along with the .msi file. I've tried using the two options below in the wixproj file, but neither of them worked (I've verified that the path to the script file is correct): ItemGroup Content
