Hi. I am just getting started with WiX, and am having an extremely
frustrating issue (especially after working on the bloody thing all last
night and this morning).
My program must be installed outside of Program Files because for
third-party reasons, mainly due to the fact that one of the main programs
can not have a space in it's own path.
This should be no problem, and i have already found the answer to this with
some googling. However, when i build the MSI from my wix project, the
install reports success but no files or directories are written to the
filesystem, except for the Prefetch directory. Attached is the relevant (i
think) section from my WiX project file.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide - what is left of my hair will thank
you ;)
