I build packages with two media components:
<Package InstallerVersion="300" Compressed="yes" />
<Media Id="1" Cabinet="files.cab" EmbedCab="yes" />
<Media Id="2" Layout=".\files" />
And here is a sample Component/File couplet that I use:
<Component Id="file.fil" DiskId="2" Guid="{*****}">
<File Id=" file.fil" Name=" file.fil" Compressed="no" Checksum="yes"
KeyPath="yes" Source="C:\Original Path\file.fil" />
</Component>
The problem is that when building the project, the FIL files are put in the
right folder (<root>\files), however Windows Installer looks for them inside
the root folder and not the files subfolder, which is rather frustrating:
Ive been trying to hack around with it but no luck came out. Hopefully you
can show me the light.
Also, another annoyance: FIL files amount for a few gigabytes, and it seems
that light tries to copy them to my files subfolder each time I compile,
even though no changes have been made to these files! Is there a way to
restrain light from copying them every time to save compilation time?
Thanks a bunch.
