For this you'll need a bootstrapper.

Hi All,
I have a file that is embedded in the msi.
I want to copy the file in my install location. What
should be the syntax in the File element to specify that it is a embedded
binary. E.g. I have a file sbc.dll embedded in the msi.
Hi, I have multiple msi packages created using WiX, a bootstrapper setup.exe and settings.ini (settings.ini contains some configuration information used by setup.exe) . How can I package these files (msi packages + setup.exe + settings.ini + some other resources) as a single installable execu
Embedded binaries are only for items that you
aren't installing, such as custom action DLLs and graphics used in the
UI. Everything else should go in the (possibly embedded) CAB or as a loose
file.
If trying to invoke a custom action from a DLL you're
installing, you should use the FileKey
You might want to use a self extracting zip and a
modified SFX (use SFXMake for instance) so the setup.exe is started
automatically after extracting the selfextracting zip :)

Hi,
After reading the MSDN and Wix help (at the end of my email) I think
that you can ommit the ExcludeLanguages attribute since you do not
use the Language attribute. Anyway I think it should work as you want.

and look at the Upg
You can create a self-extracting executable with something
like WinZipSE. I have been using a free self-extacting executable creator called
Zip2SecureExe [1].
You can also use IExpress which ships with Windows

wizard.

Thanks Mike. I’m still struggling. I

Does version="*" work? Even better would be version="8.0.*.*" but I

No. They're just .lnk files in a directory, so there's no way to sort
them on install. The shell doesn't expose an API for the UI re-ordering
it supports.

Hello vij,
You already have the tool if you have IE6 installed: iexpress.exe
It's part of IEAK (Internet Explorer Administration Kit).
Run it once, go through wizard, let it create *.sed file. Edit .sed
file to change file paths to relative if necessary. Now you can build
a self-extracting CAB
