is there a recommended approach to getting current wix vs08 project extensions to output a patch msp?
I've created a wix vs08 project and changed the Product.wxs to contain <PatchCreation>...</PatchCreation> content versus <Package>...</Package> content. In the current wix project settings there doesn't exist a Build | Output Type option for a "Windows Installer Patch (.msp)". The project by default when built outputs a Product.msi which presumably is not just different in file name extension than the desired Product.msp output. At this time is something like the following added to my post build event project settings the best way to arrive at the desired Product.msp output while retaining support for wix project patch/msp source code maintenance? Post Build Event = "$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\..\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\Light.exe" -out "$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\$(TargetName).pcp" "$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\Product.wixobj" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\MsiMsp.exe" -s "$(ProjectDir)obj\$(Configuration)\$(TargetName).pcp" -p "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)en-us\$(TargetName).msp" -l "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)en-us\$(TargetName).log" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
