Need some help to debug this:-

Question :----Do I have to put the "foreach" block into some directoryRef?
If so how do I do it(since directory ref could be CommonAppDir1 or
PersonalDir1). Also, this foreach section is not added into
<Feature></Feature> block. I got the following errors when compiled.


Error:-
G:\WiX3\ACT Network Sync\ACT Network Sync\Product.wxs(155,0): error
LGHT0091: Duplicate symbol 'Component:Act.Data.dll3' found.
G:\WiX3\ACT Network Sync\ACT Network Sync\Product.wxs(155,0): error

The most reliable way would be to duplicate the components installing the
files and condition them (one set uses "ALLUSERS" and the other set uses
"NOT ALLUSERS").

You may be able to use the preprocessor's foreach to avoid duplicating the
source code (note, I have not tested this):

<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLDIR">
  <Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder"/>
  <Directory Id="PersonalFolder"/>
</DirectoryRef>

<?foreach directory in PersonalFolder;CommonAppDataFolder?>
  <?if $(var.directory) = "CommonAppDataFolder"?>
    <?define condition = "ALLUSERS"?>
  <?else?>
    <?define condition = "NOT ALLUSERS"?>
  <?endif?>

  <Component Id=... Directory="$(var.directory)">
    <Condition>$(var.condition)</Condition>
    <File .../>
    ...
  </Component>

  ...

  <?undef condition?>
<?endforeach?>

I need a sample wxs file which can install files to different location based
on the value of ALLUSERS.

 

Example:-

 

allusers=1,  some selected files will be installed to commonappdata
folder(C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data).

allusers={}, the above files will be installed to personal folder
(C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents).

 

I have created a dialog where user can select the value for ALLUSERS. My
next goal is to copy some files to different locations based on the ALLUSERS
value.

 

Thanks,

Ravi
