> What do you think? Feel free to try it out. I'm skeptical that it will be a better overall solution than the current one - the main difference would be that, rather than me being the only one who can realistically change the packaging chain, it would be you who is the only one - which, in principle, would be fine with me.
I believe you need deep inside knowledge of the MSI database format for WiX, just as you do for using the automation API. I think I could learn WiX fairly quickly after all these years of learning MSI in the first place. I think the WiX designers did right in tying WiX so close to the MSI data model, but it means that WiX makes package creation not simpler - merely more productive for the experienced user (who I hesitate to call WiXers :-) In any case, when you work with WiX, I'm sure you'll gain a lot of expert knowledge on Windows packaging. Depending on your job situation, that might pay some day :-) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
