Top of the Morning to you,
I've been using MakeMSI for almost half-a-year now, wrote a neat
little script to generate the file list for it. The packaging software
seems rather complete, and relatively easy to use.
What are the advantages of using WiX instead of MakeMSI? (and vice-versa)
Also, is
Like a ComponentGroupRef element.

Yes. Windows Installer does not use the system restore points it creates.
They are used by system administrators when they try to roll a system back.
Because of that, some sys-admins require that the MSIs installed create the
restore points.

A bit of context here. We have a bunch of merge modules that get their files
via heat (pre V3 RTM) and then we created a post processing tool that used the
output of Heat, and produced a WXI file that was directly included in the merge
modules via include.
We just upgraded
And MSIFASTINSTALL can turn it off if not needed.

Thanks for the reply Bob. It appears that neither DIFx or DPInst support
the Sensor driver type. SetupAPI appears to work just fine, installing
the sensor as a "legacy" driver -- funny yet sad.

Use an XSL transform. Or don't -- almost everything you can do with an
include file can be done with fragments.

What is the scenario you are trying to accomplish? It sounds a lot like what
you want is Fragments.

Just add a dialog and use the SpawnWaitDialog action on the database dialog to
show the Loading dialog until a specific condition evaluates to FALSE.

Thanks for the reply Thorsten but I'm asking about showing a progress dialog
*before* the installer reaches the InstallExecuteSequence. The "test
database connection" custom action I have runs when the user clicks a button
in the UI, so what you have posted will not work.

Let me clarify, it doesn't even need to be a progress dialog - just a
"Loading..." popup.

Hi All,
Is there any tool or automated way of generating a WXI file from a WXS file?

You can associate a text with the UI/ProgressText-tag to a custom
action. One example:
Hi,
We need to add SQL client components as custom prerequisites in our wix
installer.
If we need x64 versions of SQL components on 64 bit computers or because
our product is running on 32 bit subsystem we just need x86.
