Hi all,
I've been having a hell of a time with WiX over the last few hours. All
I want to do is have a directory below my main installation directory,
etc, then a directory within this directory, fonts and a file within
this directory, fonts.conf, e.g.
c:\MyApp
c:\MyApp\bin
...
c:\MyApp\etc
c:\MyApp\etc\fonts
c:\MyApp\etc\fonts\fonts.conf
However, I have not been able to get WiX to create the fonts directory,
or create the fonts.conf file. My current installer script (trimmed
down) looks like this:
MyApp.wxs:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="Softel">
<Directory Id="WorkQueueFolder" ShortName="SwiftvTX"
Name="Swift vTX">
<?include JobStore.wxi ?>
<Directory Id="EtcFolder" Name="etc">
<?include etc.wxi ?>
<Directory Id="FontsFolder" Name="fonts">
<?include fonts.wxi ?>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
....
<Feature Id="Complete" Title="vTX Work Queue" Description="Installs all
vTX Work Queue components" Display="expand" Level="1"
ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION">
<Feature Id="WQApp" Title="Work Queue Application"
Description="Installs the vTX WorkQueue components" Level="1">
<!--bin folder-->
<ComponentRef Id="CommandPromptExe" />
...
<ComponentRef Id="placeholder" />
<ComponentRef Id="CreateFF" />
<ComponentRef Id="RemoveFF" />
<ComponentRef Id="fonts.conf" />
...
</Feature>
</Feature>
etc.wxi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Include>
<Component Id="placeholder"
Guid="42B6D4D0-0DA3-439A-AF27-D8853F391AF4">
<File Id="placeholder" Name="placeholder" KeyPath="yes"
Source="placeholder" />
</Component>
</Include>
fonts.wxi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Include>
<Component Id="CreateFF"
Guid="E82AE9FC-0BDD-4210-A57D-B0EA4E77B806">
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
<Component Id="fonts.conf"
Guid="95DC007F-7604-40B2-82E2-D3A1438982A0">
<File Id="fonts.conf" Name="fonts.conf" KeyPath="yes"
Source="..\..\..\_distribution\release\etc\fonts\fonts.conf" />
</Component>
<Component Id="RemoveFF" Guid="0992F524-024E-4D63-95B1-3DC009B7B660"
>
<RemoveFolder Id="RemoveFontsFolder" On="uninstall" />
</Component>
</Include>
Sorry it is a little messy, but that's basically what I'm doing now. I
end up with the etc folder, and the placeholder file inside the etc
folder, but the fonts folder & fonts.conf do not make it into the
directory.
Can anyone give me any idea of why this might be failing to recreate the
directories correctly? I have tried a lot of different variations on
the above theme, but they all seem to end up with either no etc folder
at all, or only the etc folder & placeholder.
Thanks in advance,
James
