Hello WiX Community,
Well, actually the subject tells it all. I'm aware of this limitation, and
I've been successfully using the CA working with temporary data.
Now I'd like to know the reasoning behind this. Is it a technical
limitation? Why we can't temporary change the persistent data, just
Hi Palbinder, (group),
thanks for your response.
As per the link you said, an ID of 1234 is *not* acceptable (every
identifier must begin with either a letter or an underscore), which is why I
think heat does some magic to avoid that ID for a directory called 1234.
It seems that in one case

Is there any way to view a wixmst file created via torch in the following

This gives you an idea of the process.

I've looked thru lots of google results trying to find out how to build a
setup.exe from a single wix generated msi file.
Visual Studio 2010 has a bootstrapper project but that looks like a work in
process, am I right?
Basically all I need my setup to do is to launch the msi and create a log

Kind of like how InstallShield couldn't create a web site that didn't also have

Ah, good to know. Certainly sounds like a bug to me. I wonder how that works
in a merge module consumed by an installer. I'll have to try it.

Hi,
I need to prepare msi installer, so that it could be installed via
Active Directory on multiple computers in silent mode.
Total size of files, i must redistribute is about 100Gb, so it would be
significant optimization, not to pack into cab (or at least pack without
compression) ant not

Hi,
Have a look at the wix included tool setupbld.exe. Think this should
be able to create a setup.exe wrapper which runs as admin. But afaik
no possibility to generate a log file.
Other options are full bootstrappers like DotNetInstaller of Burn
which is under development. Visual Studio 2010
Hmm, something is wrong in your MSI if it needs to be launched elevated.
Visual Studio 2010 shipped last year so I don't think their bootstrapper
project would be a work in progress. It either works or they shipped with a
bug. smile/

1 - What I would like is for the extension installers to refuse being
installed if the main application isn't installed.
This is easily supported using LaunchConditions in an MSI. Simply use
something like a RegistrySearch to populate a property with something
your main product installs then use
Hi Tobias,
Thanks for the pointers. I've been looking at the setupbld.exe but it seems
to be only partially implemented
-bitmap and -privilege both do nothing and I'd also like an -icon to set the
icon of the exe too.
I was taking a look to see if I could build these myself

I believe a bug is open on this and possibly already fixed in WiX v3.6.

1. Yes, you can specify files in your MSI to not be compressed. You can also
specify none of your files in your MSI to be compressed
Package/@Compressed=no (the default, I believe).
2. Yes, Media/@EmbedCab=no (the default, I believe) creates non-embedded

Unfortunately I'm not well informed about this technique but it might

Also i read that max size of msi is 2Gb, so i can not embed all files
into single msi.
The Cabinet format has a max limit of 2 GB. That doesn't mean you can't
