Category: bootstrapper Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Marcel S (mp_s) Assigned to: Rob Mensching (robmen) Summary: Microsoft Component Installer SDK as bootstrapper project? Initial Comment: Is it a good idea to include the Microsoft Component Installer SDK (MSCI) as bootstrapper project in Wix? Currently MS offers MSCI as a non-supported download. It has some nice features like: - multi-language support - support for web- and cd-based setups - downloads the components if not given in a specified directory It misses some features which could be added by the WIX community if the project would be adopted, like: - make it extensible: currently is a fixed list of components which can be installed. - make it flexible: currently is supports installation of MSSQL EXPRESS edition, but this install isn't configurable What do you think? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Mad Butcher (mad_burcher) Date: 2006-06-28 00:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=295880 I think this is a great idea! The only problem might be that nobody can get their hands at the source? Maybe the dev-guys of WiX know of a way in? <wink /> But it does solve a lot of bootstrappingprogramming for me if the component installer would be more dynamical and it would be even better if it is more closely to WiX. It might be a great idea to start a sub-project for this. But you still need someone with the appropriate authority to do so I guess...
