Hi there, My name is Henk and I would like some advice from the users if possible about the WIX technology. I'm very new to the technology, and I've just moved into a build master's position at my company.
We are providing software for a bank, and they require new functionality that patches are delivered as Windows Installation packages. The requirements are as follows: The packages should be published in the Add/Remove programs control panel applet as Updates on the application server. The patch should check for dependencies of previous versions of patches, new dependencies of middleware remote clients etc. If a dependency is not present, the installer should notify of the missing dependency and then terminate, writing the results to a log file on the server. The un-install of a patch should roll back to the previous version, of the files being replaced by the patch. Each patch should be a roll-up of the previous patch. My questions are: 1) Can all of this be done with WIX? 2) If it is possible, can I use build the msi setups using visual studio and use wix for the patches (msp's), or should I also create the msi's using WIX if I want to use the patching feautures of WIX? 3) Which version of WIX is still the best to use at this stage, 2 or 3? All help appreciated. Regards, Henk Roos "DISCLAIMER: This message is proprietary to Aricent and is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
