Hi guys,

 

I have written my wix extension which uploads SQL Server reports to a
reporting service via the SSRS Web Service. I am currently embedding the
reports into the MSI with the Binary tag, and then referencing the binaries
from my <ssrs:Report binary='binary1'> tag. What I would PREFER, is to have
my Report tag directly reference a file on disk, just like the <File> tag
does (ie, <ssrs:Report source='c:\report.rdl'/>).

What would the best way to implement this?

As I don't want to deploy the report file to the target disk, just send it
to a web service, is it conventionally incorrect to place the file in the
CAB instead of the MSI tables?

I have taken a look at the source code for the <File> tag in the WiX
Compiler (C# code), but I cant see how the file content gets embedded into
the cab/referenced/etc....

 

Thanks guys
