Hi everybody, i just joined my first mailing list of my life, so please be
patient and understand that sometimes i may look rude just because i don't know
how to behave in there.
In primis, I'm not a programmer in the strict terms, so i'm not really used to
use tools similar to wix,
but starting from some well done tutorial and example i managed to make my
first game installer in a pair of days, mostry thanks to the
quite straightforward structure of Wix.
I'm using Wix with sharp-develop and a user made dll to check for .net
installation version, xna framework, directx and then to install the game files.
The main problem here is that the current project is actually able to compress
the Xna fw and DirectX redist inside the msi file, while the .net installer is
only checked and then linked.
I would like to have the .Net installer included in the msi package so that a
user can download and install everything in a single step.
Since i am not a good programmer after-all, i was thinking of including the
.net installer as a game-file, then somehow run it before
the game starts, but the xna installer won't install itself, prompting the user
to download the .net then retry.
So i urge to know how can i add the .net installer executable to the msi file,
run it at the start of the installing procedure, wait for it to
do its job, then progress with the installation of the game.
