Hello to all in the group, I'm looking at using WiX to create MSIs for deploying binaries, web content and anything else we need to. There's nothing complex, just take the files created by the build and package them so they can be easily deployed to servers. The install is a glorified xcopy really, MSIs offer the ability to know exactly what we have on a system other than that we don't use the other functionality. The user doesn't face any choice when installing.
The reason I'm looking at WiX is because it is supported by (or supports...) MSBuild and as such can be used in MSs Team System setup. What I'd like is have a script that will take any files in a particular folder, create the respective .wxs file (based on a template) and then build it. In my search I've read about tallow, heat and clickthru but i haven't seen much documentation around the WiX website for help file... I believe development on Tallow has stopped - are Heat and ClickThru still being developed? Are they usable and would they do what i want (above)? Thanks, Matt Matt Thompson PERSHING Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ Pershing Email Disclaimer: Pershing Securities Limited, registered in England number 2474912, is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority and is a member of the London Stock Exchange.
