Hi Thomas,
The snippet of Nant Script you posted looks sensible. Are you allowed to post the whole script? It would help to see what the rest of the script looks like. When you view the created msi, what entries do you get in the FeatureComponents table? Is there a directory structure under your release If you are adding files to a component that are in sub-directories, then behind the scenes, the <msi> tasks will create separate components for these as a component is associated with a single directory, so you can't have a directory heirarchy in a single component. The associations between these components and the feature you linked your "real" component to are in the FeatureComponents table. In here I would expect to see all the components in your component table linked to F__DefaultFeature.
It's also probably worth running the install in debug mode to see if there are any errors, and check that the install thinks it should be installing the components and feature. to do this, run the following from a DOS prompt:
msiexec /i <your install.msi> /lx Logfile.txt
Cheers,
Bill

Hi Bill,
I checked my MSI file and it looks like all DLLs are in the MSI file. Each DLL in it's own Component, but the components don't belong to the default feature or any other feature. How can I change that with Orca and in my Nant script?
At the moment I use the following code to include the DLLs:
...
<!--
==========================
BEGIN: Main folder content
==========================
-->
<!-- Main files (*.dll, *.exe -->
<component
name = "C__Main_Files"
id = "{FAF2D6DD-82A4-4738-A40F-09D236B4B2E4}"
attr = "2"
directory = "TARGETDIR"
feature = "F__DefaultFeature">
<key file="Fiducian.Desktop.exe"/>
<fileset basedir="${release.dir}">
<include name="*.*" />
<exclude name="*.bat"/>
<exclude name="*.cs"/>
<exclude name="*.xml"/>
<exclude name="*.pdb"/>
<exclude name="*.resx"/>
<exclude name="*.SCC"/>
<exclude name="*.csproj"/>
<exclude name="*.vspscc"/>
</fileset>
</component>
...
Thanks,
Thomas

Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] How to modify the MSITaskTemplate.msi file?
Hi Thomas,
I did edit the default template that comes with the <msi> task as I wanted to remove the user name and the License agreement dialogs (as it's an internal install)
As I don't have any commercail software for editing the msi, I simply used Orca. To remove the dialogs, you need to edit the Dialog, Control, ControlEvent and possibly the ControlCondition tables. Changing these shouldn't affect what files are installed.
Is CustomDlg one you've build yourself, or do you mean the CustomizeDlg one that ships as part of the template? If you have created your own dialog, are you sure you are setting the correct Install level or Action Statesfor the features? If you are not allowing the user to select which features to install, have you got all your features set to be part of the typical install? (set the 'typical' attribute of the <feature> element to 'true'.)
HTH,
Bill

Hi,
I've got a working nant script which
creates a msi file. It works fine with
the default MSI Template provided by NAntContrib. But I have tried to change
the displayed dialogs in MSI Template file, using InstallShield Developer.
What I want to do is to skip the 'Welcome' dialog and display the "CustomDlg'
instead. The goal is to allow the user to select the destination folder
for
the installation and nothing else!
I deleted 'WelcomeDlg" from the list and added "CustomDlg".
When I run my
nant script everything seems to be fine. I get the new MSI file, but when
I
install it half the files are missing. Looks like all DLL files are not
installed, the calulated disk space is arround 1 MByte, normaly 30MByte.
Is there some one out there who has
already modified the default MSI
Template?
Thanks,
Thomas
