In my build environment, one of my unit tests is to compare the contents of
the MSI to the files that were available to be built. This alerts me to
application changes that have new resources that I've not been told about. An
overly simplified look at this process would be like this:
# Make Clean
rd /s /q buildarea
rd /s /q installer
# Get Available Files
xcopy
\\buildmachine\some_path_to_where_your_build_files_are\ProgramFilesFolder\CompanyName\ProductName
"buildarea\program files\CompanyName\ProductName" /IER
# Perform Administrative Installation and remove MSI
msiexec /a \\buildarchivemachine\some_path_to_your_latest_build\ProductName.msi
TARGETDIR=%CD%\installer\ /QN INSTALL=ALL
del installer\A2Client.msi
# go get Cygwin extract since most developers don't have this installed
copy \\server\programs\cygwin\bin\diff.exe .
copy \\server\programs\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll .
copy \\server\programs\cygwin\bin\cygintl-2.dll .
copy \\server\programs\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll .
# create differences file FileSize > 0 means there is a discrepency in what
was available
# to be consumed and what was consumed.
diff -qr --ignore-file-name-case buildarea installer > differences.wri

Hi folks,
I would like to move to Wix and I did the basic researches how do this.
Now one major part is left and I have no idea how to solve this.
We have right now an application with three features and ~ 200 files.
This files will be copied to a deployment directory using nant. Then all
files in this directory will be harvested by Wise into our msi (with the
resulting upgrade issue)
The harvesting will be replaced by static wxs files. But now I have no idea
how I can check if all files in deployment directory are part of the msi.
Do someone out there can give me a hint how to check this?
Many thanks in advance
Dominik
