I've found using the @Name on Payload as well as MsiPackage and MspPackage elements allows you to place the files in specific sub folders. So using Name="payload\StealthConsole\Setup.exe" and Name="payload\StealthConsole\StealthWebparts.wsp" would ensure the files are in the same folder, however I seem to remember that the current working directory of your EXE is not always the directory where the exe resides. Odds are Setup.exe is dependent on the CWD to find the WSP file.
I seem to remember a request for a bug to be logged that the engine didn't set the CWD to that of the exe before invoking it, but a quick search didn't show any hits. -----Original Message----- From: Hans ter Horst [mailto:hoshis...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 10:05 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Burn: Are EXE file and Payload content placed in the same directory for an ExePackage? Hello. As part of my bundle I have to deploy a SharePoint webpart and I use the tool most people use for this and tool comes with a Setup.exe, an XML file describing the installation and the WSP file to be deployed. I have the following in my Bundle.wxs file: <PackageGroup Id="DeployWebConsole"> <ExePackage Id="DeployWebConsole" Cache="no" Compressed="no" DisplayName="DeployWebConsole" PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="yes" SourceFile="Binaries\StealthConsole\Setup.exe" InstallCondition="InstallConsole=1" > <PayloadGroupRef Id="StealthWebparts"/> </ExePackage> </PackageGroup> With a Fragment describing the payload: <Fragment> <PayloadGroup Id="StealthWebparts"> <Payload SourceFile="Binaries\StealthConsole\StealthWebparts.wsp"/> <Payload SourceFile="Binaries\StealthConsole\Setup.exe.config"/> <Payload SourceFile="Binaries\StealthConsole\EULA.rtf"/> </PayloadGroup> </Fragment> The Setup.exe finds the config file without problem but cannot find the WSP file. Normally when all three are in the same directory the install works fine. Any idea what could be going on?
