It should just work fine. I don't use SMS though so you might follow up
with them if you have issues.

That WiX v3 build is about 6 months old. If you're going to be using WiX
v3, you really should be picking up a new build at least monthly. It is
very likely that this issue is already fixed. If you find that the
latest build reproduces the problem, please do open a bug.

The TargetFile creates a reference to a File/@Id. So, you should just
need to do: TargetFile="File_ClientExe" and the rest is managed for you.
As for the documentation, would you mind putting "your time where your
feedback is" and provide information that we can add to the WiX.chm to
help in t
Or take a look at the WiX custom actions. All of the custom actions
look up the state of the Component to determine how they will be
installed, uninstalled, repaired, etc.

Take a look at the current custom actions and just extend them to
support SQL. If you sign an assignment agreement, we'd love to try to
get the changes incorporated back so other people would benefit from
your effort.

Ok, I just completely removed WIX/Project Aggregator/Visual Studio 2005.
I then re-installed VS2005, updated it with Windows Update, installed

other project types work fine (C#, C++, VB, etc).

Hi,
I tried to extract an MSI file generated by installshield (basic msi
project without any installshield specific extensions).
While extracting, Dark is using short names for the paths in file table of
msi database. This is causing problem as Dark is trying to locate the file
name by the shor

Hi All
Rob has a point, WIX is a great product, unfortunately the documentation
not only leaves a lot to be desired but is downright misleading.
Due to the substantial changes in version 1.0/2.2/03.0 the current basic
online documentation is worse than useless.
I do understand the desire to get
I'm new to Wix using 2.0 since it is tagged as stable and is documented
fairly well.
Is there a way to get Tallow to generate a component Id and File Id based on
the root of the name attribute of the File element?

Craig,
I wrote a tool, PARAFFIN, that will do exactly that.

Hi All
I can't get this right. I want some of my files to be packaged externally,
in sub-directories off the directory of the MSI image.
I couldn't find any examples of how to do this, and thus inferred that the
Media/@Layout was how to do it.
However, when I run the MSI it can't locate the file a

Hrm. I don't know exactly what Media/@Layout is turning into in the
final MSI, but you don't need this

I didn't explain fully...
The external files are on the installation CD.
e.g. The output layout of the CD:
file.msi
file.cab
file2.txt
ext\file3.txt
When the MSI is installed, it can't find file3.txt which is in a
sub-directory ext on the installation media.
Thanks
