There are. MSI SDK lists all the well known directories. -----Original Message----- From: phillip_sid...@dellteam.com [mailto:phillip_sid...@dellteam.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 11:29 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] A few questions
Thanks for the info! My only open issue at this point is whether or not there is a built in variable for windows and windows\system directories. Thanks. - Phil -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:rob.mensch...@microsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 12:05 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] A few questions 1. wwwroot isn't a built in system folder, so no. There is an WiX Extension (NetFxExtension, I believe) that will provide the .NET Framework directories. 2. Minor upgrade or small update. Both are documented in the MSI SDK. 3. Yes. Always need a WebSite to "root" the VDir. You don't always have to *install* the WebSite though. 4. Declare the vdir. The vdir will be installed when it's parent Component is installed and removed when it's parent Component is uninstalled. -----Original Message----- From: phillip_sid...@dellteam.com [mailto:phillip_sid...@dellteam.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 09:12 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] A few questions 1) Are there built-in variables for the windows system folder? wwwroot? .Net framework folders? 2) What is the best way to execute an upgrade without uninstalling? 3) When installing a vdir using the WebVirtualDir element, do I need a WebSite element if the vdir is under the Default Web Site? 4) What is the recommended way to remove a vdir when uninstalling?
