Dear wix-users: Task: Make a msi/installer with additional custom-dependent files in the setup-directory or/and subdirectory. Thanks to this mailing-list and google - i got a msi with some external files running:
MyApp.msi, custom.config.ini, custom.config.def Done by a Media-def without cabinet and EmbedCab, i.e.: <Media Id="2"/> and <Component Id="CustomComponent" Guid="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" DiskId="2"> <File Id="custom.config.ini" Name="custom.config.ini" Source="L:\custom.config.ini" Compressed="no" /> <File Id="custom.config.def" Name="custom.config.def" Source="L:\custom.config.def" Compressed="no" /> </Component> But i need a solution for this situation: MyApp.msi, *.config.ini, *.config.def, YaSub/*.ya As far as i understand, i can use the <CopyFile>-Tag - but the selected/wildcard-matching files have to be there during msi build/compiling. :-( Yea -> the solution is called CustomAction ( http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/07/01/semi-custom-actions/). ... Right now, i dont understand CustomActions, i'm sure 50% of the readers of this list already run into the same question and i need a running solution on monday ....
