Re: [WiX-users] creating INF files

2007-09-11 Thread Stefan Krueger [MVP]
The Windows Installer engine is not aware of INF files. Reading property values from an inf file would require a custom action. That said, WiX might add such an action by default, but I don't know WiX well enough. Probably others in here could answer this. Otherwise, to help us better understand

The component must have the msidbComponentAttributesTransitive bit set (don't know the WiX syntax for this). This should remove the component during (auto-)repair, modify and small and minor updates - probably not what you want. BTW in case of Major Upgrade, Installed is FALSE. I don't fully und

Component and Feature conditions are both evaluated during the CostFinalize action, so you can't base them on user selection. You could place the component in a separate feature and select it using the AddLcal control event on the "Next" button of the dialog. -- Stefan Krueger Microsoft Window

I would prefer incrementing the file version number. If that's not feasible, you could set REINSTALLMODE to vemus instead of vomus (o = overwrite 'o'lder version, e = overwrite older or 'e'qual version). Version lying can have undesired side effects, like downgrades or unwanted auto-repairs. --
