In your Media element, make sure you don't have a Cabinet or CompressionLevel attributes and that your EmbedCab attribute is "no" or non-existent. In your Package element, set the Compressed attribute to "no". And make sure that none of your File elements contains a Compressed element.
Note that if you change the files between when you build the MSI and you install the MSI, your customers can end up with "endless repair loops", so you may need to think about why you need your files outside of the MSI instead of embedded. -----Original Message----- From: Bisht, Pradeep [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 4:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] WIX installer but not a single file package; Hi All, currently when I build by WIX installer (using candle and then light), it creates a single setup.msi for me. What I need is to create a single setup.msi but all the files that I need to install should not be present in setup.msi. I need them to exist separately and setup.msi should pick them when I run setup.msi. e.g, say I want to install files A, B, C to the system. current scenario: main.wxs + A, B, C -> candle -> light -> setup.msi required scenario: main.wxs + A, B, C -> candle -> light -> setup.msi + A, B, C Thank you for your help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
