Hi everyone,

I would like to use WiX (with MSBuild) without running the WiX installer, but 
by just copying the binaries to some location. Is this possible?

Background: We are using a NAnt script to build our projects, including the 
installers. The idea is that we could just checkout the source code from the 
repository on any computer (with MSBuild) and immediately run a build without 
having to install anything before. Therefore, we have added all required tools 
(e.g. NAnt, NUnit...) to the repository and use those binaries in the build 
script.

We would like to do the same with WiX. However, we are not using the WiX 
binaries (candle, light...) directly, but we are using MSBuild using the 
*.wixproj files. Certainly, MSBuild somehow needs to know the tools required to 
build a *.wixproj file. But if I just get the WiX binaries from the repository, 
how can I tell MSBuild to use these binaries? Is it possible? Or do I need to 
copy the files to some special location on the client?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Andreas
