Ok, I've got the common file folder setup.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
<Directory Id="CommonFilesFolder" Name="CommonFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="NWSHARED" Name="NW Shared">
<Component Id="CommonFilesComponent"
Guid="489E8A78-276B-4e70-A910-73B92E57C599">
<Environment Id="PATH" Name="PATH" Value="[NWSHARED]"
Permanent="yes" Part="last" Action="set" System="yes" />
Needed files...
After the install, I echo %Path% and the does show the addition of the NW
Shared directory. The expected Dlls are in that directory.
My problem is when I launch the admin tool from its directory, an exception is
thrown stating it can't find a Dll that I know is in the path .. more
specifically the NW Shared directory. The dll name is in the format
companyname.product family.application name.
Maybe the problem is obvious and I am just not seeing it ...

Oh, and there is a known property called CommonFilesFolder as documented
here.

So, makes it real easy to use.

Subject: [WiX-users] How do you share dll's between executabled files
I've got a wix installer that installs a backend service and a front
end to control the backend service.
The Admin front end is being placed in one directory and the service is
being placed in another directory. They have a few dlls that I would
like to share between them.
My plan is to install the dlls to one directory and then have those dll
be seen by the service and frontend.
How would you do this ?
Thanks !
Rob
