Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line

Before reading this post i did do a search for msbuild and found it in my .NET folders, and i have a copy of wix.target and wixtasks.dll, however they are not actually from the wix installation but my sharpdevelop install.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line

I don't know what I was doing but I had tried msbuild but must have supplied the wrong argument. My problem now is that there is no w.target in my C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3.6\bin directory.

[WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line

Is there a way to build an installer directly from a wixproj? The normal method is to call candle on a wxs, then light on a wixobj, but in a project with multiple source files and therefore multiple wixobjs, is there a way to create the installer through the command line? What would be the process

[WiX-users] Chaining 2 msi's

Can someone please explain the process of chaining msi's? I assume that I have to create a Bundle then a Chain tag, but how do I continue from there? I have the two msi's finished, and one must be completed before the other. Thank you in advance for any help, Dan -- View this message in context

Re: [WiX-users] Sets of files installed at different times.

Thank you for your in depth response. Since reading your post we have looked in to burn, and have a few questions that we hope someone could answer. An idea that is being thrown around is that of a first MSI that would lay down the necessary files in the form of perl scripts, and a second that wo

[WiX-users] Sets of files installed at different times.

Our installer needs to run a set of scripts on install and uninstall, is there a way to write a specific set of files to the disk, then call them using some custom actions we made and depending on whether some of them produced proper files outputs, wix would then install the rest of the files to th

Re: [WiX-users] Perl Script on initialization **UPDATE**

Thank you for your help! We eventually figured it out, here is a snippet of our working source We had to write our own exe to do it however, but that was not really a problem. Now we are trying to figure out how we can get the perl scripts into th
