Please be sure to run MSI validation on your msi files
before shipping them to customers. I think you'll find that using the same
short files will generate lots and lots of errors. You'll likely also
discover many other issues. light in WiX 3.0 automatically runs
validation, but in 2.0 you'll need to use an outside tool such as Orca, smoke
(from the 3.0 wix toolset) or msival2.

your install ever ends up on a short name system (and you don't have complete
control over that) then you're going to be seriously

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Burgess I am using the latest wix
v2. Does anyone know if the ‘Name’
attribute on the <File> element needs to be unique? All of the file’s I
install I use the appropriate ‘Longname’ value, but as I ‘m having trouble
auto-generating short names I have used the same value for the ‘Name’ attribute
for every file and it seems to work fine. Is this likely to cause me problems
down the line? |
