In that case, I am not sure how to help you. It has been my experience that the exe is run from the cached location, so I don't know what is different for you. One thing that might be different is that the bundle I work with has lots of things to install, so we have placed all of the files in the packages\<BundleName> folder on the install media. So we are not including them in the bundle exe, and they are not in the same dir as the bundle exe. One of those might make a difference. --matt

Hi Matt! You mean like this? <ExePackage Id="TTUpdate" SourceFile="C:\Downloads\setversion.EXE" PerMachine="yes" Vital="yes" > <Payload Id="Versiontext" SourceFile="C:\Downloads\version.txt" /> </ExePackage> This is the way I have it today, and both files are copied to the same package cache folder, but since the installation process of the exe isn't started from that folder it's not going to find the text file. The process is started from the path where the BA.exe is, and that's where it's looking for the text file. When I have the same case but the payload is a dll, then there is no problem (maybe the dll gets registered in GAC?) //Caisa -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-Exe-package-can-t-find-payload-file-that-s-not-a-dll-tp7578750p7578794.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
