I have a question regarding WiX and the referenced installation tools. I am not a Windows Installer expert (I am not even sure if you could call my skill level a newbie!), but I have been tasked with a project and I need to get up to speed fast.
The question is likely very easy: I have an installation that requires several prerequisites (.NET 3.5 SP1, Microsoft WSE 3.0, 64-bit OS, etc...) The previous development team (almost all of who are gone) built 21 MSI files for each "Feature" each MSI having multiple "components" This currently gives us a night mare for version control, patches, etc... I have been tasked with building a CD-based "install" that check the pre-reqs (this I can do) and get all these MSI's into one install so they can be selected and de-selected as "features". What is the fastest and most reliable way to do that (assuming the original expertise from the guy who wrote the WiX script that builds the MSI's is gone)? Thanks for any help pointing me in the right direction. I have the latest Wix toolset, Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 and InstallShield 2010 as my tools.
