I've got one working version and it turned out to be very quick and easy. I tested it on one pristine XP SP2 installed in Virtual PC and it works like a charm. Quite a relief after waiting one hour for SP1 install to tell me that I need to close WiX.chm HTML Help file.
The procedure is the following: 1) create one dummy project, for example a console app, just to have something to use for creating the corresponding deployment project 2) create deployment project (not the WiX one but the other one available under VS2008) and give it name like 'MyCompany' since that name will be visible later when (and if) you want complete 3.5 framework as a prerequisite, for example. 3) for deployment project click on Properties and then Prerequisites button. Choose your prerequisites and name the output MSI the same as you named your WiX-generated MSI. You don't need MSI generated here for anything except for correct name. Set installation URL. 4) build the deployment project, pick created setup.exe and copy it to your installation URL along with the MSI created by WiX. 5) That's it! Run setup.exe from the URL and it will install prerequisites and then your MSI. I tried also one full installation of 3.5 and it is painfully slow, even on XP SP2 that has no Framework installed. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan O'Neill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 3:52 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'
