I'd use a common .wixlib just like the WiX toolset does. See: src\Setup\CommonLib

Subject: [WiX-users] using directories across installers Hi, I am currently in the process of splitting an installer out in to smaller more manageable installers. I've got a situation whereby two of the installers place files inside a folder in the CommonAppDataFolder. What is the best practice for doing this, should I use directory elements in both installers, or do I need to use a DirectoryRef element in the second installer. I'd ideally like one installer not to be dependent on whether the other installer has been run. Any help appreciated. Kind regards Sean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
