Yes you are right - I forgot uninstall :-(
The problem is, that directory with documentation is delivered by
third party company and I do not want to check directory structure
everytime after documentation delivery...
So I created folowing functionality using mallow.exe utility:
1.) Into our .wixproj file (we use autobuild on TFS and wix 3.0 VS2005
targets..) I added folowing PreBuild event, which autogenerates "Help"
directory structure:
<Target Name="PreBuildEvent">
<Exec ContinueOnError="true"
Command=""$(WixToolPath)mallow.exe" -d ..\Help -s
DirToInsertTemplate.wxs -w Help -a ..\Help > DirToInsert.wxs" />
</Target>
content of DirToInsertTemplate.wxs is folowing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";>
<Fragment Id="Fragment_Help">
<DirectoryRef Id="Help">
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
</Wix>
2.) Then I use in my MSM module source file folowing:
<FragmentRef Id='Fragment_Help'/>
....
<Directory Id="Help" Name="Help">
<Component Id="HlpFld" Guid="{45E999E7-DC0C-41aa-AD50-2375692D4525}">
<CreateFolder/>
</Component>
</Directory>
... And it works wel!!! :-)
Thanks to all..
David.
