I just want a cheap and dirty way to install some dlls and drop a template in VS. The template is already in a .vsix (I exported a solution as a template), which installs nicely. My initial idea was to just package the .vsix in the installer then have the installer "schedule" (somehow) vsixinstaller.exe to do the rest. I don't want to spend the time figuring out how to install a template using an MSI for a dinky little template that'll be used in-house. If it breaks, it breaks. But thanks for the warning.

If you want features that the VSIX can't offer, they've said to use MSI instead. They also said that the page you linked right there is not accurate, and will be changed or removed.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] VSIX after installation? Seems like there is special procedure to do that: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332502.aspx Also, documentation is saying that in order to install templates using .vsix, target system has to have SDK or Visual Studio installed. As far as WiX code validity, CA declaration looks fine.

I'm trying to use Wix to drop some DLLs on the target machine and then run another installer, this being a .VSIX that installs some templates. I'm not having any luck getting this to work. This is what I'm doing right now: <Binary Id="vsix" SourceFile="..\..\..\SolutionItems\sobmofogdfu.vsix"/> <CustomAction Id="InstallTemplates" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" ExeCommand="" Return="asyncNoWait" BinaryKey="vsix"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="InstallTemplates" Before="InstallFinalize"/> </InstallExecuteSequence> This doesn't work. All I want to do is tell the operating system to "execute" the friggen vsix. How do I do this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
