Scott,
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that you currently have the same source file included in multiple components. Is that right? If so, presumably there is something stopping you from putting the file(s) in as many components as you need and including a ComponentRef to it/them in your feature(s). What is that? My guess would be that the "shared" files have to be installed in the same folder as the application, and since the applications can be installed stand-alone (presumably each into their own folder) you may need the same file in more than one place. Am I on the right track so far? Regards, Richard ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Sam Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 11:12 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Shared files question? In our product, we have a bunch of features that are usually all installed on the same machine, but were designed to be able to be installed as stand alone programs on separate machines. As a result, there are a bunch of files that are shared between the different features. Currently I have all of the files for each feature installed with that feature, just in case they are installed on separate machines. This leaves me with a lot of duplicate files in the installation. I'm am getting ICE errors about it, but I am currently ignoring them. What is the best way to do this? My first thought was to put all of the common files in one feature and install them all of the time. The problem is that some files are common to two features, but not the rest. We don't want to be installing any extra files, if we don't have to. I'm using wix v3 with votive and vs2005. <http://www.clearviewecm.com/> The information contained in this email is privileged and confidential and is intended solely for the addressee(s).
