Hi List, I'm trying to split the files in an installation to one or more .cab files. If I have understood the schema correct, this is done by adding a "media" node with [EMAIL PROTECTED]"no", and then by having the component or file nodes referencing it's "Id" attribute with their "DiskId" attribute.
The problem is that the .cab files ends up empty. In stead of putting the content in the specified .cab files, the content ends up in the file system in a directory-structure similar to the one that will be created on the target system, with the root-directory (in my case "Program Files") in the same directory as the .msi and .cab files. Light.exe outputs the warning: "warning LGHT1079 : The cabinet 'Setup1.cab' does not contain any files. If this installation contains no files, this warning can likely be safely ignored. Otherwise, please add files to the cabinet or remove it." This simple .wxs file gives me this problem: http://warsetup.jgaa.com/files/Setup.wxs The output from candle and light: ---------------- Executing: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\candle.exe" "C:\devel\current\war\warlib\Setup\Test.wxs" "-ext" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\WixUIExtension.dll" "-out" "C:\devel\current\war\warlib\Setup\Test.wixobj" Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Compiler version 3.0.2420.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2003.
