I have wanted to use the built in stuff, and even built a "front end" to make things easier. But my colleagues insist (1) that no MSUs are available or (2) "this is a special case, we can't accommodate".
I want to make absolutely certain this is really a matter of WSUS (and SCCM) being all that is known and resistance on that ground. If there really is supposed to be a way to do CABs raw in an unattended fashion beyond the pkgmgr call, I don't understand how it is supposed to work.

This has helped me understand both the C# compiler processing and the design of CAs. And when I come across something like the MsuPackage (which as others pointed out was documented in the chm, but I overlooked it) I try to use the wheel others in the Wix community created rather than inventing my own version of the same thing. I still have a lot to learn also. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/MSU-raw-cab-tp7593094p7593102.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
