Hello,
I see the problems:
The First one was that light needs all the *.wixobj
The Second one was that light needs the -b parameter.
Now, I do the following:
"C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\heat" dir "BGINFO4XW" -cg
SampleGroup -out SampleGroup.wxs -gg
"C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\candle" SampleFirst.wxs
SampleGroup.wxs
"C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\light" -ext "C:\Program
Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\WixUIExtension.dll" SampleFirst.wixobj
SampleGroup.wixobj -cultures:en-us -out SampleFirst.msi -b "BGINFO4XW"
The MSI is generated correctly, with all files included.
The problem is that, the installations doesn't use INSTALLDIR, so the
program is installed in C:\ even I select a different INSTALLDIR
directory.
What I'm doing wrong? Why the program is not installed in INSTALLDIR?
Thanks a lot.
My SampleFirst.wxs is:
