I have been using WiX 2.0 for a couple of builds now for our project and so
far its been an impressive ride.
As part of our system components, we have an ASP.NET project and the way we
build and deploy our code is drop all the files and folders to the VROOT.
The files and folders easily add upto 200 items.
Now since I didn't want to manually add these 200 items with component Ids,
Guids, short names and long names, I went ahead and developed an MSI from
Visual Studio, used dark on this MSI to get the initial project. Over the
last couple of builds our team has added 5 - 6 files and removed few. I
have been manually managing adding and removing these to the WiX project,
but then I was also curious if this was the right way to do.
Is there an automated way to manage all of this. I was just thinking about
writing an MSBuild custom task which would script out these files and
folders into WiX project if I cant figure out an alternative.
Let me know how others have worked with this.
Thanks,
SJ
