Depends on what kind of files they are and how you plan on servicing them (patching, upgrades ) Typically these are content type files such as web content or help content.
But, yes, there are situations where this is acceptable provided that you understand the implications. ---------------------------------------- From: "Michael Scheepers" <mscheep...@tool-links.de> Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 8:44 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] files and components Hi there, I am very new to WiX and I ask me if it is possible (recommended) to define multiple files in one component? Unfortunately I have to create a msi for about 4.500 files and in my opinion that might be 7 or 8 components to install. So is it ok to combine a thousand files in one component (because they depend on each other)?
