Hello wix-users,

We have a set of internally developed and 3rdparty software components
(native and .NET dlls) at work. The interdependencies between these
components are a relatively complex graph, and
they change from time to time. I'm looking for a way to make it as
easy as possible for application developers who use these components
to build a setup.

This is what I have in mind:

1) I define a big wxs file with <Component> elements for all these
software components.
2) Application developers put <ComponentRef> elements in their wxs for
the software components they directly depend on.
3) Indirect dependencies are implicitly pulled in. Application
developers never need to worry about this.

Can this be done in wix? Is there any way to declare dependencies
between components? I have not
yet been able to get something like this working.

Thanks in advance,

Wim Coenen
