I have a WiX 3.6 install using burn to chain 5 packages plus a pre-requisite of .net 4 which uses the short but sweet <smile> <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40Web"/> reference. It's working pretty nicely, but there is one area which needs tidying up.
Three of my packages (which are installed into their own separate directory) have a large number of 3rd party DLL's in common (DevExpress GUI DLL's for instance), and are currently included in each of the 3 MSIs. These pre-requisites will not change (at least not for the foreseeable future) and I'm loathed to download them each update, let alone three times for each update. While creating a separate package for these shared components and place them in the GAC would make the current download smaller, they would still be downloaded each update. Therefore, how can I create my own custom pre-requisite package, and reference it to be downloaded from our server is required? Many thanks :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
