[WiX-users] How to compile and link .wix and .wixobj files during runtime

2012-11-02 Thread Sander van Harmelen
Hi everybody! I'm pretty new to WiX (first mail to this list), but I already bought (and read part of) the book and walked through the tutorial so most default things are clear by now. My question is if it's possible to use the functionality that candle and light provide from code during runtime?

Both You and Nick have suggested to get the latest version from source control rather than download a snapshot of 3.6. Is working with the latest version of WiX from source control what most people do? I'm not to familiar with the project so I'm not sure what to expect when it comes to the sta

That's the error message you get for pretty much any reason. It's like a catch-all error message. Try changing the service's account in the services console and see if it starts. Maybe try to debug into it while it's starting. I've done that before after putting it to sleep for a few seconds to giv

I used to have problems with projects not loading. It seems like it had something to do with having to copy some Version file or something into another directory. I tried the whole thing again and it works for me: 1. Cloned the repository (don't check certificate): hg clone --verbose --inse

I'd suggest giving the 3.7 branch a shot, as it actually builds with MSBuild (as opposed to 3.6 and older which was a combination of ugly Nant'ness). -Original Message- From: Filip Balas [mailto:fba...@petersco.com] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2012 1:38 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.

I'm trying to use the source for wix 3.6 as a sample of how to use wix. The documentation/tutorials seem to be very thin about bootstrapping and creating custom wpf UI's so I figured the best way to learn would be to look at the code that WiX developers use. I am just wondering what WiX devs u
