Re: [WiX-users] Guidance on WiX and NuGet integration
NuGet is simply meant as package management for a developer. For example: instead of having to download and install Nunit to be able to use in their Visual Studio solution, they can simply add a NuGet package to their solution. See the following link for some more background information: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingNuGetPackageManagementForNETAnotherPieceOfTheWebStack.aspx Some pointers: - I would integrate NuGet in your CI build. NuGet has the ability to modify the project file to automatically download a NuGet package (if needed) when building the project. - You could also create your own NuGet server. If you download the NuGet package from your supplier, you could add it to your own NuGet server. This way you don't have to deal with authentication. - You could create a MSI that packages only the new NuGet package bits. - If the NuGet package is updated, simply add a new version to your own server (see above). NuGet also has the ability to NOT automatically update to a new version, but stick to a specific version. This way, you control when to update.

Currently we’re really happy with our WiX (3.6) setup (smile)... Our TeamCity build creates the installers using Burn and Neils burn UI customisations for our WinForms products that are FTP’d to our servers. The apps call our web services to determine whether there is a later version that it’s entitled to, and if so downloads it in the background so that’s it’s ready to be installed the next time the app starts. Now I need to include some functionality that is included into our c# solution via a nugget package. The package will not be required by 90% of our client installations due to the specific functionality in the package, so presumably will need it’s own msi. The nugget package in question isn’t ours, and resides on one of our suppliers servers and requires authentication to get hold of. I’m somehow new to the world of NuGet, and cannot get my head round where it fits in with WiX... - Do I somehow include the nugget package as part of the CI build and include it within the WiX installer so it’s not downloaded from the suppliers site (this would resolve the authentication issue)? - Do I create a new MSI which includes the components within the Nuget package, but not actually use NuGet for the final client deployment at all? (This would solve a number of issues but would potentially need work each time the NuGet package is updated ) - Do I create a headless MSI package which downloads separately as part of the burn install? Clients won’t be able to enter the authentication required as they won’t have it. - If the nugget package is installed during installation, and always get the latest available presumably our install may fail at a later date if the nugget package is updated by the supplier which breaks our install somehow. Is there a way around this if the NuGet package is downloaded on the client?

I would like to apply some of the patches mentioned in SF bug tracking because waiting for someone to bring this into the sources doesn't fit into our development timeframe. We've more or less in RTM-Mode in one of our software products. One of the things that prevents us releasing the software is (besides some showstoppers on our side .-) bug #2990556. If we would have the ability to fix the problem (i.e. apply the patch) by ourselves, I wouldn't need to write mails longer than my arm :-(. I agree that as long as wix 3.5 is in beta I have to expect (and accept) bugs, wix 3.5 is the only platform that supports VSTS 2010 currently (the customer wanted to have the software developed with VSTS 2010 to get the chance to update to .NET 4.0 very soon). I personally do like the Idea of using wix because 1. It's free (and the site claims that source code is available) 2. It has a very valuable community (thanks folks for all the tips/blogs/questions/solutions available) 3. It can simply be stored in TFS besides the project (Votive is one of my personal favorites) What I would like to see from an open source solution is the chance to * fix bugs * enhance the software by myself * apply bugs fixed by the community and not applied until now in a given delivery and (if needed/possible) to pass the changes back to the community (we do this for other open source software that we use as well). I'm even willing to really spend some budget on things that need to be done. But this works only if there's a chance to 1. get access (at least reading) to a version control system that is up to date 2. get some documentation on how to build a development environment to develop and build wix that is now based on assumptions. Don't get me wrong: I do not want to start blame mode but currently I'm a little bit upset and we need to decide by end of next week if we stick on wix or if we need to switch to some other setup tool.

Could not find file 'D:\Data\Proje cts\wixsrc\src\pyro\mspatchc.dll'. [exec] As you can see, I cannot build the src\light\light.csproj because of three missing files (darice.cub, mergemod.cub and mergemod.dll). When opening the projectfile in Visual Studio you can see that the files are missing (exclamation mark is visible on the files). In addition to this, src\pyro\pyro.csproj cannot be build because of the missing file mspatchc.dll. I tried to remove these files in the projects and build again, but no go. This time I got the following error message: checkRequiredArgs: [mkdir] Creating directory 'D:\Data\Projects\wixsrc\build\obj\debug\x86\dtf\sfxca\x86'.

Has anyone out there actually succeeded in compiling WiX 3.0.43180? And if so, can someone give me some pointers on how to proceed?

Re: [WiX-users] Cannot build WiX 3.0.43180 from source.
Take a look here: http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-create-wix-build-mach ine.html this should document what you need to know to build WiX. Also, you don't actually need to rebuild WiX to do what you want to do, I have outlined the process here: http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html. Thanks, Your blog entry helped. Like you, I started with the idea that the assembly would have to be rebuild. Just tested it and it works great.
