Actually, I did run into an issue with trying your solution, and was curious
if you or anybody else had an idea:
In the <Directory> that contains the 'base-config.xml' and
'extras-config.xml' Components I put the following:
<Component Id="CMP_BaseCopyConfig"
Guid="2E5C60C4-956A-11E0-BC3C-BCD94824019B">
<Condition>NOT &ExtrasFeature=3</Condition>
<CopyFile Id="Copy_Base_Config"
SourceName="base-config.xml"
DestinationDirectory="DIR_6"
DestinationName="config.xml" />
</Component>
<Component Id="CMP_ExtrasCopyConfig"
Guid="399EA6B8-956A-11E0-8EC6-CBD94824019B">
<Condition>&ExtrasFeature=3 AND NOT
!ExtrasFeature=3</Condition>
<CopyFile Id="Copy_Extras_Config"
SourceName="extras-config.xml"
DestinationDirectory="DIR_6"
DestinationName="config.xml" />
</Component>
In this, DIR_6 is the ID of the directory I'm copying to, DIR_36 is the ID
of the containing <Directory> that I'm copying from.
With the above I get the following error from light:
Components.wxs(617) : error LGHT0204 : ICE18: KeyPath for Component:
'CMP_BaseCopyConfig' is Directory: 'DIR_36'. The Directory/Component pair
must be listed in the CreateFolders table.
Components.wxs(624) : error LGHT0204 : ICE18: KeyPath for Component:
'CMP_ExtrasCopyConfig' is Directory: 'DIR_36'. The Directory/Component pair
must be listed in the CreateFolders table.
I haven't seen any examples of using CopyFile that specified anything about
a KeyPath, so am somewhat at a loss for how to proceed here. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave
