Couldn't you set up several features with the components you need and
turn them on and off depending on the decisions the user makes through
the UI.

Subject: [WiX-users] One-or-More Installation Design?

 

I've used WiX to create a few rather simple "Do X then Y then possibly
Z" sorts of installations before, but now I'm working on one of much
greater scope that I'm having trouble clearly seeing how to tackle. 

The problem is thus: I need to allow the user to create 1 OR MORE
virtual directories (and their physical counterparts) when they install.
They will all have identical files but for web.config. An example:

I set up my first VirDir to be called "MyTestWeb" and it is stored at
C:\MyTestWeb . This will install default.aspx and web.config to
c:\MyTestWeb
As part of the same installation, I then also decide that I need a
second VirDir called "ProductionWeb" and it is stored at c:\Production.
This would also install default.aspx and web.config to c:\Production

I can certainly imagine how the dialogs etc for this should look and
behave, but what would be the high-level design / logic to actually get
what would essentially be the same Component installed to multiple
locations? Anyone have thoughts on this? 

Thanks,
-Scott
