Hi All
I can't get this right. I want some of my files to be packaged externally,
in sub-directories off the directory of the MSI image.
I couldn't find any examples of how to do this, and thus inferred that the
Media/@Layout was how to do it.
However, when I run the MSI it can't locate the file and fails.
Here is a WXS that I mocked up to replicate the problem:
When running the MSI, file3.txt file cannot be found even though it exists
in the "ext" sub-directory.
[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<Product Id="*" Name="Test"
UpgradeCode="73652A84-2CD9-4FD6-9202-0CD29451F6AD" Language="1033" Version="

</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Feature Id="TestFileProductFeature" Title="Features" Level="1">
<ComponentRef Id="WixExampleFileComponent" />
<ComponentRef Id="WixExampleFileComponent2" />
<ComponentRef Id="WixExampleFileComponent3" />
</Feature>
</Product>
</Wix>
[/code]
Any help is much appreciated.
