I'm ashamedly naive about a fairly core issue with WiX. Maybe you guys can clear this up for me. As I write my installer I've been thinking of the "source" files as those that I am installing, and the "target" as where they will be on the machine on which the install is being run.
So right away I'm looking at the first directory element in my *.wxs file: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> and I'm having a hard time figuring out what the heck this even means. The MSDN documetation for SourceDir<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371857(VS.85).aspx>just says, "The *SourceDir* property is the root directory that contains the source cabinet file or the source file tree of the installation package". Now since I never create or see a cabinet file when running WiX I'm assuming that this is the directory containing my MSI file when running the installation. But when I run the installation it's set to drive C:\ weven though my MSI is on a network share. -Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
