Hello,
I have a WIX MSI that removes a runtime-generated file. The applicable
fragment looks like this:
<RemoveFile Id="DeploymentGeneratedSQL"
LongName="FrameworkDeploy.sql"
Name="Fr*.sql"
On="uninstall"
/>
This works right now, but is messy, because of the wildcard. I originally just
used
<RemoveFile Id="DeploymentGeneratedSQL"
Name="FrameworkDeploy.sql"
On="uninstall"
/>
But that did not work, presumably because Name is supposed to be a short name.
If I put in just a "LongName", I get a complaint that I need a "Name". Because
I don't know the short name (it would be generated when the file was created if
it was generated at all) I can't use a specific name.
As I said, this works at runtime, but it causes a warning from WiX that
LongName is depreciated - I should use Name:
warning CNDL1069: The RemoveFile/@LongName attribute has been
deprecated. Since Windows Installer XML now has the ability to generate short
file/directory names, the desired name should be specified in the Name
attribute instead. If the name specified in the Name attribute is a short
name, then Windows Installer XML will not generate a short name. If the name
specified in the Name attribute is a long name and you want to manually specify
the short name, please set the short name value in the ShortName attribute.
However, as I said, using a long name in Name doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Michael C. Bazarewsky
