Hi Karen,

We have a similar build routine here (use mallow to update 
files/components, followed by candle and light) and decided to make the 
jump to v3 some months back. I couldn't find a v3 replacement for 
mallow, so I decided to try modifying it. Since it's (unobfuscated) .NET

code, it was easy to decompile using Reflector 
. I think I had to do a little 
tweaking of the files to get them to compile, but can't remember the 
details. After that, it the changes were pretty simple:

* change the namespace definition to
  "http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
* change functions CreateDirectoryNode and CreateFileNode work with
  the new schema (change "src" to "Source", get rid of the LongName
  attribute

I'll see if I can get a go ahead from work to release my updated mallow.

Of course, all of the component rule warnings still apply, and I'm sure 
anyone who really "gets" Windows Installer cringes whenever they see 
folks talking about mallow and automatic component GUID generation. It 
seems to be working for us for the past 3 years, so I guess we'll keep 
on living dangerously :)

Re: [WiX-users] Installing different version of file depending on OS

[Rob Mensching]

You might consider putting the conditions in the Component and marking the 
Component/@Transitive="yes" so that the right file gets repaired if the user 
upgrades their OS.

[WiX-users] Report Loader for SQL Server Reporting Services

[Neil Sleightholm]

This is off topic but a long time ago I seem to remember promising to
publish my Report Loader for SQL Server Reporting Services, well I have
finally done it:
http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/report-loader-for-sql-server
-reporting.html.

 

As I say in the blog I would really like to turn this in to a custom
action for WIX but as with most things I just need to find the time. I
hope this is useful to others on this list and would welcome any
comments.
