Folks, I use WiX to build my MSI in an automated build environment. My challenge now is: I'm using TALLOW to create my directory listing, but after TALLOW runs, I should be able to add a <Registry> tag to an existing component, in order to store the installation directory to the registry.
I can't seem to get that to work...... I tried adding a <component Id="component0"> to my main WXS file and put the <Registry> in there - hoping (like C# partial classes) they'd be merged together - no go, "duplicate component Id" error. So I then tried to export the registry settings I want into a .reg file and use TALLOW on it to create a WiX fragment - but CANDLE complains about "The Fragment element contains an unexpected child element 'Registry'." when I try to compile the TALLOW output....... And I can't put a <Registry> under a <ComponentRef> or any other useful tag, either..... So how do I add a <Registry> entry to an automated build, where the list of files is being dynamically generated by TALLOW? I just need one <Registry> entry for the first (top-level) directory of my hierarchy (and it works just fine if I do it manually, after TALLOW has created the "files.wxs" fragment). Any ideas?
