I have to admit I haven't tried it yet (although probably will be doing exactly the same thing later today). Have you tried removing the path from the /CONFIGURATIONFILE parameter?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to bundle a configuration file in burn? Thank you for your hint, but could you give me an example, how to express that in WiX? I would write this as naïve attempt: <ExePackage Id="SQLServer" SourceFile="X:\Software\Applikationen\SQL Server\2008 R2\SQLEXPR32_x86_DEU.exe" InstallCommand='/QS /ACTION=Install /SAPWD="express" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /CONFIGURATIONFILE="C:\some\path\config.ini"> <Payload Id="SQLServerConfigFile" SourceFile="C:\some\path\config.ini" /> </ExePackage> But the /CONFIGURATIONFILE-Parameter links to a location in my local FS. When the installer gets started it will not find the file in that location... -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 14.

You should be able to do this using the PayLoad element as a child of your ExePackage element.

Hello folks, I would like to build a setup file for a MS SQL Server 2008 Express Edition with a predefined configuration. One can pass a parameter /ConfigurationFile={Absolute path to a ConfigFile.ini} to the setup file of SQLServer in which many parameters are defined. Those config files can easily be generated by the SQL Server UI-Setup Mode and therefore I would like to use them also in my bundle. Now I face the problem of how I can provide the required file and in addition which path I must define within the parameter. Is there any chance to handle that with burn? If not I have to provide *all* needed configuration parameters "by hand" to the setup-file; this would solve the problem, but I consider this to be not very comfortable... (I would have to change this long parameter-string every time something changed...) I hope you can give me some good advice, in order to avoid long trial and errors.
