[WiX-users] Using external cabs
On a different question (than my other post about signing external ab files), when using the MediaTemplate element in an MSI I understand that it will do 'smart cabbing' and create multiple cab files using the CabinetTemplate (or default) as needed. So when this MSI is added to a bundle, I assume that Payload element should be used with the MsiPackage element to specify the MSI and the cabinet files. Since cabinet files are generated at build time based on 'smart cabbing' rules, how does one author the bundle's Payload element to include all of the cabinet files that may or may not have been created by using the MediaTemplate? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Using-external-cabs-tp7595978.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?

No need. WiX automatically harvests the external cabinets and loose files from an MsiPackage at bind time. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
