WiX deliberately does not have any mechanism for automatically collecting files because it's way too easy to break component rules. My initial guess would be that you've added them to an existing component (which it is strongly recommend you avoid) but the key file of that component isn't changed, so Windows Installer thinks the component is already installed and skips it.
The log you posted in another answer appears to indicate that Windows Installer thinks that the key file does not have a version number and that the file is unchanged since installation, since created and modified timestamps are the same, and it's not a new version of the file because the file data hashes to the same value as is declared in the MSI file. -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Blankley Sent: 15 October 2007 15:04 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Files in xml not being installed I have an existing msi and am building an updated msi and msp files. Sometimes, files that are new get found and correctly added to the xml, but don't seem to get installed when I run the resultant msi or msp files. Any clues as to where to look to troubleshoot?
