[WiX-users] Including files to installer with bindpath - best practice?

I'm in the process of enabling UAC patching for our software. The process today looks like this (some steps are left out): I use melt on the two different msi packages + wixpdb files to create new wixpdb files + extraction of all the files (administrative install). i use torch, that compares the

Re: [WiX-users] Including files to installer with bindpath -bestpractice?

The project looks like this (v3.7.1224.0): In my wixproj i have different BindInputPaths like these: Protocol false Is there a better way to declare these paths? i don't like having hardcoded paths in the wixproj file. Then the files in the wxs are then included like this:

Re: [WiX-users] Setting install directory to a user chosen value.

The dialog that asks for MYID should be sequenced before the dialog that asks for INSTALLFOLDER. On the MYID dialog's "Next" button you should add the Publish element that sets INSTALLFOLDER to [CompanyName]\[MYID]. Does that make sense? P.S On the markup you sent you have SetDirectory element wi

Re: [WiX-users] Including files to installer with bindpath -bestpractice?

Another approach is to use named bindpaths like this: (which in VS IDE can be edited in the project's properties page (or by unloading the project) $(LinkerAdditionalOptions) -nologo -b foo="$(MySourceRoot)\source_path\foo\\" For $(MySourceRoot) I define that in anothe

Re: [WiX-users] WiX 3.9 R2 NuGet package

There is no official Nuget package for WiX. That won't happen until 4.0 stabilizes. There are no plans for releasing 3.x by Nuget package. The nuget package in 4.x will not include the VS integration, you will still need to install WiX for that. On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 10:33 AM, Tunney, Stephen

Thank you for that tip! I will definately use that. Now i only need to understand why melt doesn't take care of the paths in the wixpdb files, eventhough i'm using bindpaths. From: Phill Hogland To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: 2015-03-04 17:20 Subject:Re: [WiX-users]
