Hi, Yes, it is because of the integration. The compile process needs to be done on the target machine. Cheers Sean.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] best way to handle su8pporting files Why can't you just compile the source code beforehand and place the binary in the installer? It's because of the integration; you are compiling both together? Usually you can compile your software into an intermediate library that the user can use and compile with their software. Any change on doing that? -----Original Message----- From: Sean Farrow [mailto:sean.far...@seanfarrow.co.uk] Sent: January-19-14 7:16 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] best way to handle su8pporting files Importance: High Hi All, I'm in a situation where I'm doing some work for a client integrating some software we have written in to a piece of software they use. They haven't paid for the source, so leaving this behind is not an option. What I need to do is to copy the source file to the target machine, compile this file and then remove the source file leaving the compiled binary. Given that RemoveFiles comes before InstallFiles in the InstallExecute sequence what is the best way of doing this? Is there a mechanism for some form of support files in windows installer that are copied to the users machine but not actually installed? Any help appreciated. Cheers Sean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
