Hi All,
Firstly, let me confess that I'm new to Windows Installer and WiX, coming from a rather antiquated WISE install system (10 years old!) and finally embracing the modern way. Amongst other things, something I'm trying to do is install files only if they exist. Our system ships with various databases, which can be specific to a given customer. Each database set consists of the database, plus some supporting docs. The database is jet-based, so this is just a file copy, nothing more. I want to bundle each database set into a .cab file, then drop these onto the disk depending on what the customer has ordered. Then I would like the installer to interrogate the disk and extract and copy any databases it might find. So, my databases may be packaged into: Db1.cab Db2.cab Db3.cab Etc.. The installer would check for the existence of db1.cab, and then extract the contents to the install folder (and subfolders depending on what is in the cab). My thinking is that I need to do a FileSearch for each of the cab files and set a property accordingly, then use a condition for each database component, although I haven't tried this yet. Am I on the right lines here? And how might I go about simply extracting the files/folders from the cab file to the target machine?
