Hi All,
I have created a WiX project that installs a few files and a merge
module (created using a Visual Studio Deployment Project in VS2005).
Other installers built using Visual Studio consume that merge module
correctly, but my WiX installer always seems to *advertise* the
feature containing that merge module.
If after installation I click on the shortcut created by the merge
module, I get an MSI dialog displayed while the merge module feature
is installed, then the app runs.
I have the following merge tag nested in the correct directory:
<Merge Id="MyMergeModule" Language="1033" DiskId="1"
SourceFile="C:\source\MyMergeModule.msm" />
... and then a feature that just contains the appropriate mergeref:
<Feature Id="MyFeature" Title="My Feature" Level="1" Absent="allow"
AllowAdvertise="no" >
<MergeRef Id="MyMergeModule" />
</Feature>
This results in the following feature table entry when viewed in Orca
(empty columns removed):
Feature Display Level Attributes
MyFeature 4 1 8
An Attributes value of 8 should represent
msidbFeatureAttributesDisallowAdvertise - which should prevent the
user from choosing to have the feature advertised. This works, in
that the user can't choose to advertise the feature in the UI.
However when the application is run it behaves exactly as though it'd
been advertised.
Any ideas?
Yours,
Duncan Bayne
