Hi there,
Does anyone have an example bootstrap program I can get a hold of or can
they point me in the right direction.
I've got an MSI that I want/need to install followed by another one and then
I need to run a self extracting executable (although this can probably be
done as a custom action)
rectoryInfo..ctor(String path)
at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Common.GetFiles(String searchPath,
String fileType)

args)

security warning again.
Unfortunately my pc has hadto be replaced so any settings I had have now
been lost.
I have Wix installed on a network share in the following location
Y:\Wix
Could someone tell me what

Hi there,
I manually create a logs folder during installation using the CreateFolder
option.
During the lifetime of the application this directory is written to with
some logs files.
Therefore, when I come along to delete this directory, because it contains
files the installer does not know abo
Okay I think I got it.
I've quoted the parameter and it seemed to work

Hi there,
Is the following possible.
I have an installer that as one of the steps allows the user to define the
installation location. I would then like to take this parameter (using
msiGetProperty or whatever) and pass it into a script that I have defined as
a customAction.

I've managed to mess up my WiX installer somehow but thought would start a

I'm seeing the message below, does anyone know what is causing it. Am
guessing it is related to quoting but am going round in circles now.

This is actually linked to another post I have but wasn't sure who gets
visibility of what so apologies for duplication.
I am trying to build a wix installer step by step and am struggling at the
first step.

Excuse my stupidity.
I want to install and then run a perl script passing a parameter to it but
what I have written nothing appears to happen.
I know if i run the script from the command line and pass a parameter it

but then I put in in the wix script it d

Hi folks,
I'm on the lookout for a simple example that illustrates patching using WIX.
The functionality requried is
Step 1. Apply original application and associated code.
Step 2. Apply a patch to some of the files from step 1

Basically the user would select to install the Client software from the

Once all the client software has been installed it would then perform a

Following on from the previous message I double checked what I have

I downloaded the Stable 2.0 version from the wix page (file is listed as

the SDK download section. I downloaded the x86 sdk (ver

I have some windows scripting files to add as part of my install. Up until
