Re: [WiX-users] HI WIX 3.0 FileShare question

What does your wix file look like? FileShare uses the component's directory. If you want to use different drives for the fileshares your Directory structure must be correct. How do you get those E:\.. and D:\.. folders on the target system? Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Software

Yep... definitely shouldn't be moving built-in files like msbuild.exe. Lots of bad things can happen as most of those sorts of tools assume they are in a particular location when you're using them. Better to qualify your path to the file or use the windows path to get a reference to it via

Re: [WiX-users] Path to MSI?

The OriginalDatabase is sometimes a reasonable alternative, but it has its own pitfalls too. The key issue is whether you want it in all circumstances (uninstall, repair, modify) or only at first install. In particular, OriginalDatabase works before any implicit ResolveSource in the first install.
