I am woefully behind on wix-users due to excessive workload that has finally lightened up some. I started cleaning up my wix wiki (with the GNU FDL license) due to some spam and a bit of time to actually work on it! I also split it into its own wiki from my other stuff. It's good to remind people of its existence from time to time
http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/Main_Page I did close open user creation due to the spam, but will create an account for anyone that wants one if you e-mail me at my work e-mail address (in sig) or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be warned that if you send to my personal account, there is an automated round of "respond to this e-mail if you are a live person" spam protection that you will need to go through to add your e-mail address to my whitelist. Thanks to Peter and Rene and others that have contributed to this project! FYI, I was in contact with a real live publisher about this, but the financial reward for writing a WiX book wasn't much more than I just got paid at my fulltime job for composing this e-mail. ;) Julie Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 3:37 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: WiX-users Digest, Vol 16, Issue 72 Send WiX-users mailing list submissions to wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of WiX-users digest..."

Even with as little documentation as there is on WIX we've been able to get productive quite quickly. However, there is one nagging issue we can't figure out. We are trying to provide integrated help for VS2005 for our developer libraries. The WixVsExtensions.dll looks like it will ultimately do the trick but we just can't figure out how to get it to work right. (Getting an ICE03 error regarding an invalid foreign key if we use the PlugCollectionInto element) Has anyone tried using any of this? Any pointers, suggestions or samples?

In V2, I used to write Public property <Property Id="SETUPDIR" Value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot" /> With this property, V3 gave me the following warning, warning LGHT1076 : ICE48: Directory 'SETUPDIR' appears to be hardcoded in the property table to a local drive. even Value="ProgramFilesFolder" gave the same warning. Looking for help. Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.

This is very close to what I had in mind. I've never been so delighted to be wrong. Thank you Ren?. However, I stand by these points: The participants in a thread have a strong understanding of the context and what the replies mean in that context. They are better equipped than either me or Julie Campbell to decide what is relevant when condensing their thread. People often don't write up their own thread as a how-to. This is due to things like deadlines or sometimes a lack of self-confidence in writing for public consumption. I'm offering to do the wordsmithing, because I think it will improve the quality of a resource that I personally need. Classic open-source enlightened self-interest. Thomas, Julie's wiki is indeed GPL'd. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 17:07:27 +1000 From: "Peter Wone" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] The Wix Book To: "'Schrieken, Rene'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'Thomas Leigh'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" I'm sure you've seen the message in which Rene pointed me in the direction of pretty much exactly what I was proposing. I've had a look at it and it is indeed what I have in mind but it is very new - clearly this is an idea whose time has come. I am throwing my lot in with Julie (the op of this wiki) although I note she says that she would merge with wixwiki if they agreed to let her, but they ignored her request. They didn't ignore my request - I do indeed have a login that allows me to update wixwiki, so this too may happen. Yes, it's all GPFDL. Have a look at the history of this piece http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/ICE60 and you will see the before and after. This is what I mean when I say people should cull the essence of their thread and give it to me for rewriting. _____________________________________________________________________________ Scanned by IBM Email Security Management Services powered by MessageLabs.
