Hi...
Our installers are used internally to install to a farm, so we
had
<Property Id="TARGETDIR" Value="C:\OurPath" />
In our old Wix 2.0 scripts. We recently updated to Wix 3.5, and I started
getting ICE48 warnings. I googled around on how to do this "properly", and I
found some posts about moving the definition of the target directory to a
custom action "at an early stage".
So I replaced the definition above with
<Custom Action="SetTarget" Before="CostInitialize" />
<Custom Action="InstallConfig" Before="InstallFinalize">NOT
Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id="SetTarget" Property="TARGETDIR" Value="C:\OurPath\" />
<CustomAction Id="InstallConfig" Impersonate="no" Return="check"
Execute="deferred" FileKey="InstallConfig.exe" ExeCommand="[TARGETDIR]" />
That did get rid of the warning, but now when I run the
installers produced most of the subdirectories end up at C:\ instead - except
for a couple which end up in the right place for reasons I haven't figured out.
For example, my main msi wxs file has
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="Binaries" Name="Binaries">
<Merge Id="PTCoreModule"
Language="1033" SourceFile="..\PTCoreModule\bin\Release\PTCoreModule.msm"
DiskId="1" />
...
<Component Id="InstallConfig"
Guid="D746C5C0-12CB-4d4a-AA65-361D578F09F5">
<File
Id='InstallConfig.exe' Name='InstallConfig.exe' DiskId='1'
Source='..\InstallConfig\bin\Release\InstallConfig.exe' Vital='yes' />
<File
Id='InstallConfig.pdb' Name='InstallConfig.pdb' DiskId='1'
Source='..\InstallConfig\bin\Release\InstallConfig.pdb' />
</Component>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="ASP" Name="ASP">
<Merge Id="AspModule"
Language="1033" SourceFile="..\AspModule\bin\Release\AspModule.msm" DiskId="1"
/>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="Ptt" Name="Ptt">
<Merge Id="PttModule"
Language="1033" SourceFile="..\PttModule\bin\Release\PttModule.msm" DiskId="1"
/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
The Component under Binaries ends up in
C:\OurPath\Binaries\InstallConfig.exe, but PTCore's contents end up in
C:\Binaries.
The AspModule ends up in C:\ASP\, but PttModule ends up in
C:\OurPath\Ptt.
So
a) did I just pick the wrong way to deal with ICE 48? Or more
importantly, what did I do wrong?
b) What's the "right" way?
c) Any guesses why some directories would seem to work and others not?
Seems like I should just live with the warnings until I figure out how to do it
right...
Thanks
