I am just getting started with WiX, and am having an extremely frustrating issue (especially after working on the bloody thing all last night and this morning). My program must be installed outside of Program Files because for third-party reasons, mainly due to the fact that one of the main programs can not have a space in it's own path. This should be no problem, and i have already found the answer to this with some googling. However, when i build the MSI from my wix project, the install reports success but no files or directories are written to the filesystem, except for the Prefetch directory. Attached is the relevant (i think) section from my WiX project file. Thanks for any help anyone can provide - what is left of my hair will thank you ;) ccitt <Property Id="INSTDIR"><![CDATA[c:\directory\]]></Property> <Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'> <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <Directory Id="INSTDIR" Name="."> <Directory Id="blagent" Name="blagent"> <Component Id="gent.dll" Guid="0A4F1F09-4319-4FE2-97F3-03AAA61D0465" /> <Component Id="gent.exe" Guid="DD64AFE6-ECEF-4801-ADAC-4C8E052585C5" /> <Component Id="df.exe" Guid="E779D8EA-5EB0-45AC-97D0-D0C669602A55" /> <Component Id="ncd.conf" Guid="585940A4-969B-4B1F-9547-82A277228A65" /> <Component Id="c.exe" Guid="1F2A5A6D-8886-45C1-A45D-FAA44F041E49" /> <Directory Id="tools" Name="tools"> <Component Id="cusrmgr.exe" Guid="B46BC819-76BC-4043-B439-EDABDA8311AE" /> <Component Id="sc.exe" Guid="4A650A39-4667-4908-B5F2-B60D109E3244" /> <Component Id="ntrights.exe" Guid="1881A03A-DD86-44F6-AE7C-4BD8718C0AF4" /> <Component Id="rmtshare.exe" Guid="F03F1C92-1B83-4145-BC90-4567C8DDB7A6" /> <Component Id="xcacls.exe" Guid="A536565B-DBBA-4FCE-83E9-EB8017E53F7E" /> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Installer-not-placing-any-files-tf3797683.html#a10 742431 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
