Do you mean create as in generate a file (you could use a custom action to do that) or create as in "here is my file, put it in that directory" which is much simpler and just requires a reference to a file.
To dump, add something like this to a directory, but I think it's all in the .chm so you probably mean custom action. <Directory ...> <Component Id='CMP_Default_MDB' Guid='*'> <File Id='FILE_Default_MDB' Source='Default.mdb' KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes" ReadOnly="no" Hidden="no"/> </Component> </Directory> If it's a custom action you want then I'll see if I can distil you an example. -----Original Message----- From: AxiomaticImpact [mailto:ke...@legendary-immersion.com] Sent: 11 November 2011 17:02 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Create files on install I'm new to WiX, and I can't seem to find it in the documentation.
