Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DTF in MSBuild
I wanted to keep this abstracted and loosely coupled. It's all prototype/play
work right now and I don't want to add dependencies to the build box that I
can't resolve by just pulling some third party component

I'm sure when the day comes that wix3.msi has all the right
It looks like you're copying in all the DTF support files into a subdir as
well. I was trying to just use the preinstalled locs.
To each their own. It'd be pretty easy to make an msbuild action out of
MakeSfxCA since it's all managed code anyway. I'm sure it'll come along
soon enough.

I took the lazy way out for now with a postbuild event since Jason has said
proper templates will be coming. I decided to add DTF to the filename for
uniqueness. My goal was to isolate the dependencies and wire it up as a
standard C# class project without any particularly special plumbing.
Oh yeah, also note, this depends on you having a file named
CustomAction.config in your project. I great improvement would be to have
it check for the file's existence before including it. :-)
YMMV.

I've got the DTF wrapper bit running as a simple exec task by adding the
following to the end of my project file for the CA dll.
It uses the project output and appends an _Sfx to it to mark it as the
wrapped version. It's brute force, and it steals from the wix.targets
file
Pay special atten
