Something along the lines of this: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm ?
Also, the Windows SDK has a tool (WiDiffDb.vbs) that does a diff between two MSIs. Either smoke.exe (from the WiX toolset) or MsiVal2 or even the Orca tool (from the SDK) can run validations. -----Original Message----- From: christopher.m.er...@hotmail.com [mailto:christopher.m.er...@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2010 10:53 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Setup.exe Hello everyone, I had typically been building with devenv.exe within the Visual Studio IDE. The couple *.vdproj projects I'm working with produced both an MSI and a setup.exe after building. I am attempting to use WIX to build the MSI for automated daily builds right now and have decompiled the current MSI with dark.exe to produce a *.wxs file. I was also able to build the MSI again using MSBuild. The problem is that I do not see a clear way to produce the setup.exe again as well. Can someone point me to some reccommended options to do this? Also, now that I have been able to build my MSI is there a way to validate and/or do a diff against the original one that I decompiled originally?
