Subject: Re: [WiX-users] move from wix2.0 to 3.0 Hi Karen, We have a similar build routine here (use mallow to update files/components, followed by candle and light) and decided to make the jump to v3 some months back. I couldn't find a v3 replacement for mallow, so I decided to try modifying it. Since it's (unobfuscated) .NET code, it was easy to decompile using Reflector <http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/>. I think I had to do a little tweaking of the files to get them to compile, but can't remember the details. After that, it the changes were pretty simple: * change the namespace definition to "http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; * change functions CreateDirectoryNode and CreateFileNode work with the new schema (change "src" to "Source", get rid of the LongName attribute I'll see if I can get a go ahead from work to release my updated mallow. Of course, all of the component rule warnings still apply, and I'm sure anyone who really "gets" Windows Installer cringes whenever they see folks talking about mallow and automatic component GUID generation. It seems to be working for us for the past 3 years, so I guess we'll keep on living dangerously :) Don ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
