I've successfully got a setup program built and installing using WiX v3.
Go to test in on a fresh Win98SE install, and of course, double-clicking on the
MSI doesn't do anything besides giving me the "Open with..." dialog. Trying to
launch it with msiexec gives the error "Incorrect command line parameters." My
guess is that it's an older version of msiexec that won't work with the newer
MSIs.
So I poke around in the WiX install folders and find setupbld.exe. After
trying a few things I get a setupApp.exe built. When I run it on Win98, I get
"The setupApp.exe file appears to be corrupt. Reinstall the file, and then try
again." as well as "Windows cannot run this program because it is in an invalid
format." No clue what's going on here.
Is there anything I can use to bundle my MSI into an EXE, which when run on an
older OS like Win98, will tell the user that they need to download and upgrade
their msiexec, and provide a link to Microsoft's site? Is there anything like
this in WiX v2 that I could download and install?
Thanks for any help!
Bill.
