Re: [WiX-users] WiX v3.6 RC0 available.

2012-04-03 Thread Rob Mensching
Almost. I hesitate for two reasons: 1) There are changes to the compiler and binder to support Bundles. It should be very well isolated but I've not been tracking that carefully. 2) You don't want to change your toolset version when patching. There will be more bugs fixed in WiX v3.6 (that's why

1. Yes. Add relative paths to the Name attribute. 2. You can write your own BA and do what you like. The wixstdba does not support those scenarios today. On Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 5:18 AM, PAES Stephane wrote: > Hello > > I am new to Burn, and I would like to know : > > - Is there any poss
