I am including an xml file as a binary in the MSI using the <binary ...> tag. The xml file is of a fixed size (10k always). When I open the MSI (which is built with Wix) in a hex editor I see that the file is split into two blocks (7k + 3k), and not contiguous.
1. Is there any attribute that can be set to stop splitting up this file? 2. If the answer to the above question is no, is there some way to extract the data in the MSI database, manipulate it and write it back to the MSI database on linux? I need to do some byte manipulation in the xml file I specified above (after the MSI is built). I have read in Rob Mensching's blog about the MSI file format ( http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2003/11/25/Inside-the-MSI-file-format http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2003/11/25/Inside-the-MSI-file-format ), so was wondering if the streams could be manipulated somehow on linux? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Binary-files-split-into-multiple-blocks-in-the-MSI-tp2989196p2989196.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
