Hi All,
I am a new user to Wix, i know it must be real easy but dont know how to do
it.
Requirement of MSI package i have is like this.
1. Wix needs to package few files at perticulater location eg: c:\temp and
make a Msi package of the files.
2. Msi package created needs to install files at
There's the MsiSetProperty API Ref:

Or, if you're doing this from a native windows installer UI sequence, through
WiX, you'd make use of the Publish element.

Hi Brian,
Cant we create custom action which can run before installing anything. using
simple copy command for the backup process of existing files. (i guess this

extension. I tried defining multiple SqlFileSpec elements under my SqlDatabsae,
but it seems that the second SqlFileSpec overwrites the
I would recommond against using a Windows Installer for such a task. There
is no default handling inside the Windows Installer engine which creates
backups. There is a way to make the MSI hidden so it does not show up in
Add/Remove Programs. With the requirements you are listing above I would say
FindRelatedProducts, Ref:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368600(VS.85).aspx only runs the
first time the product is installed. Hence, I do not believe it is relevant
for a small update or a minor upgrade.
You can verify this in your scenario by capturing a verbose log file /l*v
Got answers to these. Would be interested if anyone already has a command line
utility wrapping MsiRemovePatches api that allows cmd.exe scripted removal of
patches.

Some patches are un-installable:

I'm offering to pay and ship few cases of beer and hamburger patties so
