Yes. I think it is good to use IronPython in the Windows world :) The main point in my idea is to use only scripting language for setup developer. I believe that using a compliled dll for a custom action is a bad smell. We need to implement a wix extension (e.g. based on IronPython) to support

[WiX-users] Python for the custom action

2009-07-15 Thread Konstantin Vlasenko
It is a good idea to have an ability to write custom action on Python same as for VBScript or JScript. I understand that the Windows Installer not going support this (maybe IronPython?). But may we can to make an Wix extension? What do you think? Does it make sence?

Hey Konstantin, You could develop a managed custom action and use IronPython if that works for you. It would be good for the community to hear how your development efforts went. Thanks, Brian Rogers Intelligence removes complexity. - Me http://blogs.msdn.com/icumove -- NEW On Wed, Jul 15,
