[WiX-users] heat and xslt transform to keep only pdb files

2012-08-02 Thread Naim Kingston
I'm using heat to try and harvest a directory of all the pdb files. I know that there is an option for heat to look into the vcproj files to get them, but I may need to expand this in the future to deal with other file types as well, such as linker map files, and the like. What I've got so far

There are no bugs currently open on torch/pyro so there are no planned updates. Please open bugs and be as specific as possible about the issue. Patching issues can be particularly difficult to reproduce if complete detail is not provided. On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 11:40 AM, Jeanne Dixon wrote: >

Going back to the old patch creation method worked! I followed the example in the link but I had to make a few changes (some of the properties were old). Here is my new wxs patch file: http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> http://www.mywebsite.com/"; Cl

I cannot suggest a solution for the patch problem you currently have, but I might be able to suggest an alternative. I was unable to use the pure WiX patching technique, as I was attempting to patch a file in a merge module. The WiX help describes two methods of patch generation, the first WiX only

I could never get the new patch building mechanism (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_patching.htm) to work, so I fell back to the older patch creation method. (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/patch_building.htm) For what it's worth, the wixpdb files are XML files. From what I

[WiX-users] Installation folder during maintenance

2012-08-02 Thread Uma Harano
Hi I need some confirmation on what I should do about setting the installation folder during maintenance mode. When the first time install sets the install location to non default location, does the msi remember this for subsequent maintenance operations? Or should I create a custom action d

This is getting really frustrating... I followed the instructions to make an administrative install for both the original and updated versions. I reran torch (using the msi files instead of wixpdb) and pyro built the patch without errors. However, the patch is still not including the changed fi

I have messed about with the patch some and while I got rid of the pyro error I still get a warning about the cab files being empty and the patch created basically contains nothing (when I look at it in Orca all I see is the version number has changed; no files are listed at all). I have been s
