I think it’s very nice that candle/light/etc
now run on either. We too develop apps that must run on
either so we have some dev boxes that only have 1.1 on them. Naturally this includes the automated build
servers which only have 1.1 and VS2003 on them to ensure no code references 2.0
classes. Perhaps if you itemized a few pros/cons it
would help make the descision clearer. eg. the impetus is these x proposed
features would be significantly easier to develop using these y new 2.0
framework classes. Can’t say because I’m very new
to wix and haven’t even looked at the source yet but just in thinking of
what these tools do it’s not obvious where new 2.0 classes would be of
great benefit. I don’t think as a dev tool we can
really say that perf is an issue and hence probably not generics either. I’d have to say if there are truly
time/pain saving use cases for new 2.0 framework classes then I’d be open
to taking the pain of having to build the installer on a 2.0 box. However if it’s just because of the
pain having VS2003 around or the pain having to set up B to enable targeting
1.1 from VS2005 then I’d lean against it. Managed plugin api wise I could certainly
see how future versions of votive could only target VS2005. I think it would be
a fair tradeoff to say if you want to use VS2003 you’re stuck with votive
3.0 or less but that’s because there’s a big distinction between an
authoring tool and a building tool. exactly two cents worth J, -john From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Rockwood There
has been some talk on the core team about moving Wix 3.0 over to use the .NET
Framework 2.0 instead of 1.1. We wanted to know how many people this would
affect and in what ways. If you have any concerns about using .NET 2.0, please
respond to this email and let us know. Conversely, if moving to .NET 2.0 would
help you, please let us know that as well. Thanks, Justin |
