If by that you mean a command line property set when the user installs - this is exactly what we want to AVOID. We want this all controlled by the particular MSI that a particular user executes. We can't rely on them setting a command line...

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally Include based on Build Configuration I _think_ you can accomplish everything you want here by simply passing in a runtime property when msiexec is called, like "ConfigurationToBuild". Then you can use the value of that property to determine what to install, etc. I've had success with that approach personally. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Sniderman [mailto:dani...@magenic.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2012 10:21 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Conditionally Include based on Build Configuration I'm working on automating our Build - and migrating from VS Setup to WIX. We have a Windows Forms Application that has two different Configurations - One to Deploy to Citrix Servers and another for occasionally connected Laptop Users (plus several "environments" dev/qa/prod etc) For the two different configurations the differences are in differing config settings (which I've already figured out how to) What I need help with - the Laptop MSI needs include an additional EXE and a few corresponding files - and add a shortcut to the additional EXE to the startup folder. Ideally I'd like one WIX solution (and wxs file if possible) that based on the "Configuration to Build" setting (ideally both from a desktop build and a TFS 2010 build) create the appropriate MSI. (IE - I don't want a single type of MSI that requires the user to select based on UI). What is the best way to implement this? Thanks! Daniel P.
