This has already been discussed a while back. Information you can use to bring to management is in Rob's reply here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11797715 I would recommend reading the entire thread. A question for the group in general - Should there by a Why WiX page on the website that would have this information? Basically a shameless self-promotion, but some people may need it to convice management. On 6/1/06, steve baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
the multi developer scenario is one of my strongest reasons for pushing wix. in the past there were wait times of up to a week to get a file added to an install. with continuous integration building bogus installs for a week all effectiveness is lost. to remedy the situation the wise installs were switched to include files in components based on wild cards. bye bye compenent rules... well, guess what happens when you upgrade an asp.net 1.1 website with a component keyed off global.asax that dynamically includes all aspx files to 2.0 and the global.asax file goes away? i may even try getting them to watch rob's webcast on shared development :) thanks for the input :) On 6/1/06, Brandon Tyler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It is much more developer friendly.
