Hi All,
I have the requirement of creating an installer that on executing will
install to the location C:\Energy Solutions
International\PipelineOptimizer 6.0.0 the following 5 directories:
db,data,engine,security, gui. These five directories are being harvested
from a location using Heat.
Hi all
I have a ComponentGroup with three different Web.config files, each one
contained in its own Component with its own GUID and mutually exclusive
conditions.
Light will give an ICE30 warning in this situation, but according to below
post, it should be ok as long as the conditions for the
just use StartupFolder directory -

You're trying to copy to a privileged location. You need to either be
installing perMachine or you need to elevate and have an installing user with
Administrator privileges. An unprivileged user can't install or copy to
C:\Program Files ordinarily.

Sounds like you got it, but you might also consider using dark.exe to
decompile your previous VS create msi and see how it would build the wxs
file. I found doing this in certain situations to be instructional as I
started to figure out wix.

If all goes as planned, this weekend the WiX toolset website,
http://wixtoolset.org/, is moving to a new ISP. As a result of the move, the
website may disappear from the Internet for short intervals. If there are any
issues, I'll try to get status to Twitter @wixtoolset and follow up here
I'll have to look into SetDirectory /. That looks cleaner than my
custom action route.

You can use a Custom action to set a shortcut in the user directory. I am
assuming your installer is per machine, hence all shortcuts are in the general
start menu but you just need one shortcut that must be created in the user

I downloaded WiX toolset v3.8 from

However, when I try to open the WiX solution file: E:\wix38-debug\src\wix.sln

Sorry Rob .
I wasn't sure the solution to create a directory level structure as mentioned
below could solve the issue as the directory structure is different for every
OS.
Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
Directory Id=WINDOWSVOLUME
Directory Id=UsersDir Name=Users
That is not VBscript, it is c# code.

Doesn't matter. Still really bad design to use a CA to modify machine state if
