Hi all, first time here for me. Assume I know only the very basics (particularly not the lingo), but willing to read from any link you throw at me.
I used to have a very simple Visual Studio's .vdproj project, with one app written in C++ and a few Microsoft's dll's (CRT and MFC) manually added in the same folder as plain files (not as merge modules). I want to move to WiX, and need some guidelines and best common practices. Major points: - I want to use MS redistributables instead of adding dll files manually. - Previous setup allowed for everyone/"just me" option. - Application writes some bits of information in HKCU registry during work, but not during setup. - The setup (and application) are written in my native language (not English). I'm handling that fine for now. - Application is used by various users and in various environments, so I need to cover Questions: 1. Should I still allow for everyone/"just me" option? I've found suggestions to always install for everyone. 2. How can I handle the problem when previous and new setup differ in this option? Currently I see two installations in control panel if this option is different, and new setup does not remove old files from installation folder. 3. I guess I should include MS redistributables as merge modules. Also, I'm guessing that merge modules should be part of the core feature (Absent="disallow")? Is this correct? 4. Additionally, how can I install some CA certificates during setup? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
