I have one very large file that I want to keep outside of my main installer. I plan on distributing a CD such as:
\Setup.msi \External\BigFile.exe My product media tags are thus: <Media Id="1" Cabinet="main.cab" EmbedCab="yes" /> <Media Id="2" Layout="External" /> I then set DiskId="2" on the component owning BigFile.exe. Wix seems to like this. I build with Votive, vs2010, candle, light, etc. and I get my output media just as above. It even creates the External subdirectory and copies BigFile.exe into it. HOWEVER - when I go to install, it errors because it's looking for BigFile.exe in the same directory as setup.msi. It completely ignores the External subdirectory. I dug through the msi with Orca, and can't find anywhere that references the External directory. Looking at the MSI docs, I can't even find which table it should be in. There is a Source column in the Media table that is blank, but MSI docs say that's for something else. Ideas? Help please.
