[WiX-users] Packaging Website Files

2007-03-28 Thread Christopher Brandt
I'm not clear on the best practice for packaging up large groups of files, such as a website. I understand that the wix file needs to have each file individually listed. But how do you achieve this practically, especially with a website? Adding the installer project to the website solution and the

[WiX-users] File Element - Assembly Attribute

2007-03-07 Thread Christopher Brandt
What is the purpose of the Assembly attribute of the File Element? I'm trying to install a set of .net assemblies, but if I set the Assembly attribute to ".net" the msi fails with an HRESULT 0x8002802F (and no real information of course). It works if I leave the Assembly attribute out. From rea

2007-03-02 Thread Christopher Brandt
I'm sorry, but my little brain is just not getting it. How do I map from the file structure on my build server to the file structure on the destination machine? I'm not talking about radical file structure changes, just paths to the source files that go into the msi and where those files get place

[WiX-users] A Couple of Heat Questions

2007-02-20 Thread Christopher Brandt
I'm new to this whole Wix and Heat thing and I havn't found the answers to these questions elsewhere in the mail archive. First when I try to use Heat against a website (actually a virtual directory from my default website) it says it can't find the website. I took note of the correct casing of t
