C#/DTF custom actions have a really nice story to support this without writing a lick of code. You just add the files to the MSBuild project as Type: Content Action: Copy Always and they will show up in the current directory at execution time.
I wonder how much work it would be to get the C++ CA projects to support this also. ---------------------------------------- From: "TimM" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 8:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Extract Binary file from MSI C++ Natalie, I have basically the same task where we have about 5 files within the binary table that need to be extracted so that we can trigger a custom actions that depends on all 5 files existing in the same folder. So I would like to know if you have this working correctly and if so would you be able to supply your solution? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Extract-Binary -file-from-MSI-C-tp7582039p7585498.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
