Hi Matt,

 

I have not used the Wix Targets yet. I'm simply calling candle.exe and 
light.exe. 

 

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave,

 

WRT building WiX projects with MS Build, I'm interested to know if you use the 
Wix.Targets file to build the setup projects as referred to in the following 
article?

Good news! There are a few GUIs for WiX.

 

InstallAware have cool application called WixAware (http://www.wixaware.com/) 
that provides a front end for creating WiX deployment projects and merge 
modules. Version 1.1 is a little buggy and only supports WiX 2.0. They have 
mentioned on their forums that WixAware 2.0 beta 1 will be available this week.

 

Also check out WixEdit: http://wixedit.sourceforge.net/

 

Automating the build of the WiX deployment projects can be performed using Nant 
or MSBuild. It is a two step process of first calling candle.exe <wixscript> 
and then linking all the bits with light.exe <wixscript obj>

 

Cheers

Dave

I've used install shield, but was actually thinking of having a look at wix. 
You can build the VS Setups with msbuild, but it's pretty nasty, basically, you 
shell out the command line to devenv.exe with the correct parameters to build 
the installer project. It's not nice, but it works.

 

Thanks

Clint Colefax

What are other people using to build setup.exe's and MSI's from their Team 
Build servers?

We've been having some problems with the two current solutions from MS:

1.       Visual Studio Setup & Deployment projects

a.       Not supported by MSBuild. You have to do the <Exec> hack and cross 
your fingers.

2.       WiX projects

a.       No GUI, Documentation & samples are thin.

 

Regards,

Grant Holliday
