I have a need to install all of the files/directories under a particular folder
as part of the install. These are basically sample files. I have read the
horror stories of how to get large number of files into wix package. Most of
these are a few years old though.
Given the question, what's the best approach. Can anyone advise a good
solution.
Here is the process of our build process:
Folder
TEMP\build\LABEL
\bin
\doc
\samples
\object
\source
* We get all of the files from TFS into a temp folder (which is based on
label)
* We build all of our objects
* We test all our objects
* We test all of the samples against the test objects
* We move all our objects to another folder for packaging (which is still
based on the label name).
* We clean the sample projects
* We move all of the samples to another folder for packaging
So I guess we could use heat to create the samples includes based upon
TEMP\build\LABEL\samples\* but I was hoping for a cleaner solution based upon
other users experiences.
I have played with this, but I don't know how to link the fragments in my main
wix file.
heat dir sampledir1 -o sample1.xml -sfrag -suid -gg -dr MYAPPDEST
heat dir sampledir2 -o sample2.xml -sfrag -suid -gg -dr MYAPPDEST
(where MYAPPDEST is my application destination)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
