I downloaded something just now called MSIViewer. It has four tabs but for my embedded MSI I also don't see any cabs. I know my MSI works just fine to install. If that's the only problem to solve then I want your job...there, done!

Cab files not getting embedded into MSI file Thankyou for your reply Rob, I have been using a third party tool called MSIViewer If I take the msi file that is generated by biztalk, I can see the Cab files embedded in them. But If I take the MSI file that I generated using Wix, I cannot see the CAB files I have attached a screenshot of the MSIViewer that I am looking at. Thanks, -siri Re: [WiX-users] Urgent!! Cab files not getting embedded into MSI file From: Rob Mensching <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 2008-12-03 21:29 Never heard of anyone having a problem with that. How do you know that the cabinet was not embedded when you use EmbedCab="yes"? -----Original Message----- From: siri a [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 13:20 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WiX-users] Urgent!! Cab files not getting embedded into MSI file Hi there, I have been fighting a problem since two weeks. And now I need to get it resolved as soon as possible. Here is my code, even though I added the Media tag and Set Compressed = "yes" and the EmbedCab = "yes", the CAB file is not getting embedded into my MSI file. I am using msbuild script to build WXS file. If I say EmbedCab = 'no', the Cab files would get generated out of the MSI file. But, if I say 'yes', the MSI would not contain the CAB files. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Product Id="*" Name="Package Name" Language="1033" Version="2.0.0" Manufacturer="Deployment, Inc" UpgradeCode="1c3ad744-e169-49a6-aa9e-7db801ef5a43"> <Package Description="PkgGUID" Comments="comments" InstallerVersion="200" Languages="1033" Compressed="yes" Manufacturer="Deployment, Inc" /> <Media Id="1" Cabinet="CAB001.cab" EmbedCab="no"/> <!--Our Custom Install Directory --> <Property Id="DeploymentDIR">C:\Program Files\Generated by BizTalk\</Property> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="."> <Directory Id="ProjectDIR" Name="complex.inbound.solution"> <Directory Id="ProjectDIRGuid" Name="69de2872-daa8-45ae-ba0d-e5f5426efe4a"> <!--Component Id="Comp1" Guid="dfc7f535-f521-4c06-8867-d898562c57f6" DiskId="1"> <File Id="complex.outbound.dll" Name="complex.outbound.dll" Source="C:\complex.outbound\bin\Deployment\complex.outbound.dll" DiskId="1" /> </Component--> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Feature Id="Feature1" Title="Feature1" Description="Package to be Deployed" Level="1"> <ComponentRef Id="Comp1" /> </Feature> </Product> </Wix> Can anyone give me any ideas on what the problem would be.....I am dying to hear something...
