My story is that I'm coming to WiX in an effort to create some nice installers for some ports of some free Unix software to Windows. It boggles my mind how the official packaging system requires such things in the first place. I'm actually very surprised that people are in fact writing boot-strappers. Why doesn't Windows installer support bundling dependencies? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
