Hi All, 

 

I have a product that ships with several different databases - or
combinations thereof. I would like my installer to show all available
databases as features that the user can install - and those that didn't
get shipped should be greyed out. 

 

I'm thinking of one main setup program and each database stored as a
feature in separate cab files. I can either then look on the source disk
for each cab file in turn, or write a small XML file (like office seems
to do) describing the components and where they are. At the moment, I'd
like to do everything in WiX.

 

A couple of questions.

 

1.       Is it easy to look for named cab files? If so how? What are the
problems with this approach (I'm thinking that a repair would need the
source disk for this to work).

2.       If the config was stored in an XML file instead of searching
for CABS, how would this get round the repair problem? 

 

Any other suggestions that would help me create a modular installation
welcome. 

 

Regards

 

Nick
