Hi All,
Ive seen this or similar questions floating around on this list and other
forums , but no real answers?, or at least no answers with followup or examples.
I'm looking to install the postgress database as part of my application
install. I have seen some posts that suggest using a bootstrapper instead?, but
not sure if this is the best or only option?
I did try using a custom action that calls msiexec and passes the appropriate
silent install parameters via execommand. Everything builds fine (using VS),
and the installer runs but the msiexec call is just throwing up the visual help
screen and evidently not installing postgres.
My question is can and should this be done from within the wix msi? (i.e. call
another msi in this case postgres), and if so how and does anyone have an
example?
I'm a big fan of wix thus far, and compiling from within VS is great, but I
need to resolve this and a few other unknowns pretty badly, please help!
Many thanks.in advance to anyone who can shed light!
S
Cheers Rhetty
