The blog http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2008/05/30/Patching-something-you-didnt-build-with-WiX-using-WiX-.aspx outlines using torch.exe -ax switch to enable use of admin install msi target and update input parameter values.
When I try and do that using the torch command syntax: torch.exe -p -ax "obj\Debug\extractedAdminInstallBinaries" "obj\Debug\v1.0adminInstall\mydeliverable.msi" "obj\Debug\v1.1adminInstall\ mydeliverable.msi" -out "obj\Debug\mydeliverable.wixmst" I get the error "torch.exe: error TRCH0258: The file 'obj\Debug\v1.0adminInstall\mydeliverable\Databases\Database1\SQLScripts\AddSubscribers.sql' cannot be found." If I install either of the target or the update msi's the AddSubscribers.sql file noted is successfully deployed so it would seem it is there. I think this is happening because my admin install folders consist of nothing more than the uncompressed version of the original msi. I'm just using "msiexec /a mydeliverable.msi /qn /l*v %temp%\ mydeliverableadminInstall.log" to generate my admin installs. Is there some switch or orca or other solution I can used to get the required binary files expanded and included in my admin install output? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
