Usually when management says they don't want to rely on software solutions that
may disappear in a short time frame ... what they
are really saying is they don't want to rely on their staff to get them from
one software solution to another when the original
disappears.
It sounds like you have a
Maybe a strong argument is telling them how commercially supported
applications is working in the real world.
As an example: A few years ago we discovered there was a bug in the
MS COM component. This problem was a show stopper for us.
We have a nice contract with MS that allows us to send them pr

That's an experimental extension some of us have been
working on for a while for HTML Help integration support (it will be rolled
into the VSExtension very soon). You can hand-modify dark.exe.config to
remove "WixHelpExtension" and a semi-colon, and it should work. Sorry for
the inconvenie
Title: Embedding the binaries in MSI
Ok, thanks. Nice to know I have not missed
something. The why is because I have written some installers for SQL Server
Integration Services (SSIS) components, and by (MS) design components need to
be in the GAC, so that they can be load and used, albeit

It is a waste and no one seems to have an answer that works well. One
question, why do you need to put the file in two places? If it's in the GAC
everyone can get to it, right? Why double place it?

Title: Embedding the binaries in MSI
On this theme, is there a way to get a
file to be placed both in the GAC and in another defined file system folder? I
need some files to be placed in both locations. Currently I achieve this by
including the file twice, which seems a waste.
Thanks
Bug in dark most likely. You can open a bug on it, but I'm not sure there
is much active development going on in dark v2. I expect dark v3 will
handle this correctly... if you don't mind converting the .wxs file back to
v2 syntax (not that hard).

Oops, forgot that part. Use the CopyFile element or a custom action to
copy the file from the MSI directory at installation time. I did
something like this with InstallShield a while back, using the
SETUPEXEDIR property to locate the file to copy. I guess some equivalent

Hi,
for realizing a kind of silent install I want to check if during the install
a file named "settings.xml" is existent in the same dir as the MSI package.
If this is not, than a default settings.xml included in MSI is copied. If it
is, instead of this included one, the one inside the directory

think that you need to have a separate copy of the file outside of
