[WiX-users] Possible to install event manifests without using wevtutil?

2007-12-07 Thread Jared Hughes
Currently my product is running a custom action of "wevtutil.exe im [manifest_filename]" to install an event manifest and create logging channels with the Windows event logging system, but I was curious if there is a native way to install this event manifest using WiX? I looked at the EventSource

Yes, it works side by side just fine (or at least it's supposed to :-). You should see an option on whether you want to install it to VS 2005, VS 2008, or both. The installation detects what versions of Visual Studio you have installed and presents the options appropriately (so if you only have 200

Have you picked up the most recent version on http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases (Votive 3, not 2)? Aaron has already done the work to get Votive to work with VS 2008 Beta 2 and I hear that it works on RTM as well. We're actually finishing up a change that will use the RTM bits as well, but I thin

I can't use the CopyFile element because even if I figured out how to recreate the obfuscated folder names in WinSxS, you're technically not supposed to be moving files around there yourself, and in fact in Vista you are prevented from doing so. If I put them in separate components using the norma

I don't believe you need to have more than one cab file per media element. Each media element can point to the same physical disk (that is, using the same disk label and disk prompt). In one of my setups I have 10 cab files (they came from separate merge modules) and they are all on one disk. Ji

I would say that you're not going to have much luck in this endeavor. Personally, I don't care which way its done, and I prefer the 'reply at top' since I already know what they're replying to most of the time and I have having to 'look for' the reply. That said, if you try to impose your views
