Re: [WiX-users] Determine if file exists on build machine

Regarding the ability to "search for" and include a source file during wix compilation/link I've proposed to extend the WiX preprocessor with a FileExist functionality. For details see "[1932721] Using FileExist() in preprocessor condition statements" available at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/

Re: [WiX-users] Heat and COM executable registry extraction

Hi Arun, I've been experiencing the same kind of problems and I posted a question about it recently. See the http://n2.nabble.com/Heat-problem-harvesting-class-from-type-library-td1303554.html I believe the problem is that for executables (.exe out-of-process COM Servers) the WiX heat tool can

Re: [WiX-users] Default website gets removed on Uninstall

Hi, As far as I've understood, and irrespectively of your port issue, a WebSite element under a Component element will always create a WebSite (even if it is the "Default Web Site") and thus also remove it on uninstall. You THINCTRAX_PORT <> 80 sniffet should not include a WebSite element but r

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with [#fileid] reference.

Yes, I did receive the ICE69 warning - and with these responses the cause is now explained. I have too resolved it by using the "[DIR]filename" method and will remember in the future to take ekstra care about using the "[#fileid]" reference method. Thanks again, /Michael ---

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with [#fileid] reference.

[WiX-users] Problem with [#fileid] reference.

Am I correct to assume that using [#fileid] syntax to refer to a file does not work if that files' component is marked with Permanent="yes" and/or NeverOverwrite="yes"? I.e. it will only be correctly evaluated if the installer actually "processes", e.g. installs, the file. Example: ...     

[WiX-users] Difference between XmlConfig and XmlFile elements?

In Wix 3.0 we have both the XmlConfig and XmlFile elements. I'm not totally clear about what is the difference between XmlConfig and XmlFile. Can somebody explain? Why do we have two different elements that seemingly can do the same (or can they)? Accordingly to Bob Arnson [see http://n2.nab
