[WiX-users] Restrictions on managed CAs for DTF

2014-02-03 Thread Adam Kadzban
Hey guys, I'm running into some really strange behavior with managed Custom Actions (C#) and DTF's compilation (?) of them. I've made a few WIX installers before, all with C# Custom Actions, and never run into this before, so I think I've covered all the basics and it's got me really scratching my

[WiX-users] Overwriting FileCost for Feature

I have a Feature that, when selected, kicks off a Custom Action that goes and downloads files from a network location to the local machine. Because these files aren't put down by the installer, they aren't taken into account during the FileCost stage, so on the CustomizeDlg screen (provided with W

I've used IExpress in the past to wrap an MSI in an EXE - this lets you specify a log file location. I've been meaning to take a look at Burn to see if there is a better way to accomplish this - from what Rob says it looks like the only thing to do would be have the bootstrapper app copy the files

Re: [WiX-users] Setting MsiLogFileLocation property

2012-03-15 Thread Adam Kadzban
Alec, As far as I know, you can't set the log file location inside WIX because you need to tell msiexec where to write the log file to before actually starting the MSI. You need some sort of bootstrapper that calls msiexec with the logging options. I've used IExpress in the past, but I think I'll
