[WiX-users] ClickThrough

Is ClickThrough still being developed ? What other options are there for managing (and tracking) automatic updates? I've tried FlexNet but it seems to be full of holes. Thanks. -- Doing More with Less: The Next Generat

Unless I'm mistaken you'd need to create a different MSI for each customer... You could automate the process of building the MSIs via command line scripts and use preprocessor / environment variables to have the build process determine which logos, licence agreement and help / config files to

I would create a single MSI that is UI-less and you can pass parameters to if you need to change the start menu names etc. This would make updates simple as there was just one package to update. I would run this from a custom Chainer of some sort (Burn for instance) that would allow pluggable logo

Ahh, if you are modifying machine state (I *think* that's what that does) then you want to put a package in your Chain. Might not matter on Windows Embedded, but remember that the BA does not run elevated so it cannot modify the machine. In this case, I'd create a data driven custom action and put

Hi I'm trying to copy a file FOO.DB to the APPLICATIONFOLDER. The FOO.DB can optionally copied into the same folder like the MSI, but is not included in the MSI. The FOO.DB is optional; it may be there or not. If I run the setup interactively it just works. If I'm running it with /qb the FOO.DB i
