How can I then 1) automatically collect all the contents of a (huge) directory, say "foo/" 2) add "foo/" to a destination dir of my choice ? Thanks in advance (Please don't start a discussion of the necessity of performing such an automatic collect: A manual inclusion of all the files in "foo

Hi Ricardo... The folder is not created unless you install some file in this folder. Another way to ensure that the folder is created is using the CreateFolder element. Te folder will be created even if it is empty. But it will not be removed automaticaly on uninstallation (you need to specify Re

Hi Stefan, I suppose that was the case with the "App\Documents" folder, but what about the "App\Backups" ? It has files and is part of the feature "ProductFeature". On 19/02/07, Stefan Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Ricardo... The folder is not created unless you install some file in

Re: [WiX-users] Nested folders

I'd say that it should work. Try to put the "App\Backups" folder directly to INSTALLLOCATION folder. (I mean do not use the DirectoryRef element). If it does not help than I don't know. Maybe someone else will konw more about this problem... regards Stefan Ricardo Lopes wrote: > Hi Stefan, >

Re: [WiX-users] Nested folders

That was my first tentative but it didn't work, so i tried to use DirectoryRef as i posted. The CreateFolder fixed the problem with the empty folder, one problem less to worry :-) I don't know why it install one component and not the other (at least i can't find it) if they belong to the same fe

For clarity. I should have added that when I ran evertyhing. I installed Error.msp which laid down my foobar file. When I applied the patch there were no updates to the Control Panel Add/Remove programs but the updated foobar file was installed. When I de-installed Foobar from Add/Remove Program

I downloaded the latest WIX 3 weekly build (wix_3.0.2612.0) and then the Vista SDK, extracted the three patch files required for building patch software as listed in the WIX tutorial and after making some small changes to the wxs files the issue I saw below disappeared. Thanks Bob Arnson-3 wrote

I found out the problem. After looking carefully at the log file i found out that the file were been copied to the windows fonts folder, because the directory id was "FontsFolder" and the value was overridden by the MSI. After changing the id to something else it worked fine. Thanks. On 19/02

Re: [WiX-users] Com registration using tallow

I'm assuming that you actually mean a regular old COM component written with ATL, rather than 'COM Interop' which to me means a .NET component registered with COM. tallow -c is for use with .NET assemblies. It won't work with unmanaged components. tallow -reg is for use with REGEDIT-style .
