I'm trying to put the dlls msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll in the installation
folder. I merge them to my msi using the merge modules CRT and STL, as I've
understood using the merge modules is the way to go (correct?). The problem
is that I can't make the dlls be put in the installation folder - or some
systemfolder where I can reach it. Inside the merge modules the directory is
defined to TARGETDIR. And I've set the TARGETDIR to SourceDir as I've got an
impression this is the common way it should be done. The
That leaves me with something like:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="CompanyDir" Name="company">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="install_folder">
<Merge Id='VC_STL' Language='0'
src='$(var.msmdir_71)\VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm' DiskId='1' />
..
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
..
<Feature Id='Complete' Level='1'>
<MergeRef Id="VC_STL" />
..
</Feature>
I was hoping that the files in the STL merge module would be put into the
INSTALLDIR together with the other files I define at the same Directory, but
apparently this isn't the case. You say that they aren't retargetable. So,
does this mean that I can't change the directory to put the dlls in? Then I
need to make sure TARGETDIR is what I want it to be.. When installing they
are put in the root (c:\). Is this what my WinSxS folder is set to then? I
didn't think so.. Can I change the WinSxS? Do I have to say explicitally
that I use WinSxs?
Note that I'm new to WiX..
