[WiX-users] Specifying source subdirectory
Hi, My source tree has a file in "include" subdirectory. I want to install it to "include" subdirectory on the target box. I do the following: Light.exe is looking for the foo.h in the main directory (where light.exe is run from) rather than in "include" subdirectory: C:\Users\me\libxs\foo.wxs(98) : error LGHT0103 : The system cannot find the file 'foo.h'.

Re: [WiX-users] Very Simple Installer
Ok, let me explain the problem. We have a multiplatform product that's distributed on ~10 platforms. Handling a separate distro project for windows is not an option - we would get out of sync pretty quickly. Build system and distribution system has to be unified. On other platforms it's pretty simple. Package the source code using autotools, let users install it using standard ./configure make make install procedure. This won't work on Windows, so we would like to take the directory, zip it and deploy it that way. We're trying to use msi because people are accustomed to installing software the fancy way on Win32. However, if there's no way to create a simple installer, we would have to go with a raw zip file. Martin Neil Sleightholm wrote: > 1. Don't do it - in the long run it will bite you. > 2.

Re: [WiX-users] Very Simple Installer
What about: 1. make zip by hand 2. add the zip file as a single file into a wix project 3. add a custom step that unzips the file Would that work?

Hi, I have a directory tree I want to install at a user-specified location.
