I was looking at the wiki article here
(http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=Deploying_Additional_Components)
on bootstrapping, and I need to be able to extend the bootstrapper with
my own component for the Office 2003 and 2007 PIAs. I checked out the
tool from gotdotnet to generate the XML, but now I'm not sure what it's
actually generating. Do I need to create my own directory and product
XML file in the VS install directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\), or do I just need to have a
manifest in the project directory that points to the file location? I'm
assuming that for the office PIAs there's no "homesite" that I can set
to have them auto download, and that I'll have to include the MSI with
my redistributable, correct?
Also, does anyone know if there's any danger in adding both the 2003 and
2007 PIAs as prerequisites if I want to support both versions? The
assembly installers should only install what's appropriate, correct (I'm
guessing that's why these are MSIs and not MSMs in the first place).
Thanks,
Chris
