Hi, I think I am missing something in understanding how the bootstrapper works. When I launch the setup.exe bootstrapper - I see that it is caching the msi package under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Package Cache\.
But the way I want it to work is as follows: My media has a Setup.exe. At this level, I have a support folder that contains the msi package that I want to bootstrap. So I want the Setup.exe to launch the msi from this Support folder. Instead, I am seeing that the msi is cached to the Package Cache location and executed from there. Also, when I compile to create the bootstrapper in Wix, the only way it will compile is if I have Support folder in the same location of the wxs file. If not, I get a compile error (same as the one below). What am I missing? Thanks a lot!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Standard bootrapper with Wix - how to specify relative paths Are you supplying the MsiPackage/@Name and MsiPackage/@ SourceFile attributes?

Subject: [WiX-users] Standard bootrapper with Wix - how to specify relative paths Hi, I am building a bootstrapper with Wix - I am using the tag MsiPackage and specifying the SourceFile attribute. How do I specify a relative path to a msi package using this? I will have the pre-requisite on my media in a folder called Support which is at the level of the Setup.exe. I am new to the Wix Bootstrapper project and will be very appreciative of any help. Thanks!
