WiX 3.5 introduces the Component/@Feature attribute
(http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/12/07/simplifying-the-wix-v3-language/)
which should make it much simpler to include components as you only need
to write code for the components and can potentially skip the
ComponentGroup part but I am struggling to see a way to use it (it is
bound to be obvious!).
I like to separate the main install setup from the files by keeping them
in separate files. In the main setup I would have something like this:
<Feature Id="DefaultFeature" Level="1"
ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLDIR" Title="Feature 1" />
In the files install I can use the Component/@Feature like this:
<Component Feature=" DefaultFeature">
<File Source="MyFile.dll" />
</Component>
The problem with this is that there isn't a reference to any of the
components in the main install so none of the components are included in
the msi. (With old way of doing it I would have had a ComponentGroupRef
in the Feature and that would have included the components.)
Any suggestions or am I just try to simplify this too much?
