Rob I take your point about CVS but a lot of my comments are still true when build from CVS, I have tried using CVS but found a few problems: 1. For a while CVS seemed to be way behind the zip file, I must admit that doesn't seem to be as bad now. 2. CVS is not always a working set of files, I don't really want to be debugging code unrelated to my changes. 3. I still found things missing from CVS. 4. CVS is crap! (Sorry my own opinion, any chance of moving to SVN on Sourceforge).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building WiX The instructions should say, "Sync files from CVS". The source.zip is just provided for quick look up during debugging on a machine that you might not have CVS source on. If you're going to be working with the WiX toolset code, you need to be sync'd to CVS. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 03:48 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building WiX I will raise bugs for the instructions. Do you also want them for missing files? I have seen posts mentioning the limited file space and that being the reason not everything is included in the zip.
