Concerning the KeyPath concept, take a look at the Component table definition (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368007.aspx) and also at the great Rob's article here: http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2003/10/04/56479.aspx
Hope this helps. -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: lensing [mailto:p.lens...@centriforce.de] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 12:52 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] KeyPath Concept & shared DLLs Hello, could someone explain to me, what exactly the KeyPath attribute represents? My installer project seems to work just fine without using this attribute, but every second WiX posting seems to talk about it without really explaining what it does. So I guess it could be important. On another note: If I want to install a dll file to the SystemFolder (and this dll could already be installed by a non wix installer - or could be tried to install later on by such an installer), ist it correct to set the SharedDllRefCount attribute of the file's component to 'yes' to create the needed registry settings? And is this all I have to do? thanks in advance ~ Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
