Hi everybody! I'm pretty new to WiX (first mail to this list), but I already bought (and read part of) the book and walked through the tutorial so most default things are clear by now. My question is if it's possible to use the functionality that candle and light provide from code during runtime? Say by using an API or COM object exposing their functionality?
I've build a small tool generating dynamic .wix files during runtime and I would like to be able to finish the build to get the final .MSI file during that same runtime. Currently I have to run the candle and light commands manually after the dynamic creation of the .wix files is done, which of course isn't nice :) Of course I can run the commands as external commands from within my program, but that feels a little like a nasty hack. So I'm really hoping that there is a way to make the needed calls to compile and link the source files to a MSI file by any programatic way during runtimeĀ Thanks, Sander ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.
