I've got a setup with 2 features, and option is "run from source" and corresponding component also set "Run from source."
Component Id="Component_one" Guid ="ABA305CB-4C75-4a64-9963-115C2B1E82D8" DiskId="1" Location="source"> <File Id="textfileid" Name="ReadMe.txt" DiskId="1" Source="E:\Drive E\JANUARY01012009\220109\Meeting Sample\WixProjectFive\Files\ReadMe.txt" Vital="yes"> </File> Feature Id="ProductFeature_one" Title="WixProjectFive_FeatureOne" Level="1" InstallDefault="source" > <ComponentRef Id="Component_one"/> </Feature> to run it from the source the files are actually installed locally. So two questions: 1. How can I make a feature offer the option to run from source (or prevent a feature from doing so)? 2. Why does it still install the feature locally? Is it because the default destination is <INSTALLDIR>? Do I need to set the destination to some other property which is set to INSTALLDIR initially? If I do that then how do I keep the other propery in synch with INSTALLDIR when the user actually does want to install locally? please help with example... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
