[WiX-users] ServiceInstall in a different fragment?

2010-10-25 Thread McKinnon, Chris
=[SERVICE_PASSWORD] Vital=yes / /Component Is there any way to separate the ServiceInstall out from the file component? I'd like to keep my files in one fragment and actions on another. I'm guessing no because there's no way to specify the binPath of the service but I thought I'd ask. Thanks, Chris

as is, then remove your other UIrefs and just use FeatureTree on its own. If you use a custom UI sequence then your only option, I think, is to add the individual dialogs you need to your custom UI. You won't be able to use WixUI_FeatureTree as is. Chris On 08/11/2010 03:28 PM, little.forest wrote
