Appreciate your for pointers Pally. Let me start by looking at

From the sound of it you would actually have to do some custom work
around the modify scenario. You don't want to install the actual bits
more than once, correct?

Edwin as you described this is the behavior that is occurring as the
ProductCode is different, but the ProductVersion and UpgradeCode are the
same.

Yes you are probably correct depending on exactly how you are supporting
multiple brands.
If you want 2 identical products but the installation branded with different

multiple msis (you can do this from a shared codebase to
Hi,
I am building a solution that contains a Wix v3.6 project on Team Foundation
Server (TFS 2010). The solution also contains some other class library
projects. The TFS build is unsuccessful with the following error:
light.exe : error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file
Thanks, our ideal result is to give the installer to our production support
team, who will run the single msi however many times is needed and each time
specify a different brand (virtual directory). This is sounding like the
instance transforms is what will be needed; otherwise, there is the
Read up on instance transforms first... If I remember correctly, you need to
know ahead of time how many instance transforms you are going to support. That
requirement sort of makes instance transforms useless in my opinion.
On the other hand, perhaps you can use regular transforms to change
I'm noticing something similar in some my builds. What do you mean by manually
set the dependency?

Thanks for the info. I think the easiest route is going to be to create
multiple msi's as needed. This way there won't be any jumping through hoops
and there shouldn't be any concerns when it comes to upgrading the
installation of a particular brand's website files.

There's still an error dialog shown isn't there? Can't you use the same
approach?

If you are using the MSBUILD capabilities on your build servers, update the
command line in the build to provide a verbose output, you should be able to
see what the problem in the log.
We noticed that in 2010 that sometimes there are dependency issues, and if that
is the case (ie, the missing
You can generate the instances in a preprocessor for loop. Since this stuff is
branded, you're likely to know a countable list of brands. You could define
list in a semicolon delimited var, pass it to a ?foreach? and build your
transforms that way. Not perfect, but doable.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to set a custom output folder for a MSI wix project? I
have a pretty standard wix MSI project, it outputs to en-us,fr-fr, de-de folder
automatically, however in order to be consistent with other projects, I would
like to output the msi file to en, fr, de folder. Of
