Danish, The tool that you were creating to help with Dynamic linking of files to a WiX install is it done yet? If so where can we get it to try it out?
Now I am really new to WiX and therefore do not know the in's or out's of it as I have been using InstallShield for quit some time now. Now I also try to stay away from Dynamically linking files/folders, but in the cases where I have to use it I would usually do each folder as a separate component and then for each one I would add a static versioned file to set as the key file. This way the component name/ID remain the same and so does the key file for each build. It does not then matter if files are added or removed from the component and therefore the build generation between versions are still compatable for Minor/Patch creation. So does your tool handle that? I just know that if the key files, component ID changes between each build will break minor upgrade/patch creation and therefore not work as we need. Also as stated we will not have folders dynamically linked as this will definitly break Minor Upgrade/Patch creation. So what do you do in these cases?
