Hi, I want to generate an .MSI which places a file, snow.txt, in the folder (INSTALLPATH)\(SUBFOLDER)\ where INSTALLPATH and SUBFOLDER are public properties that are defined from command line:
msiexec /i setup.msi INSTALLPATH="C:\Cool" SUBFOLDER="Ice" I was trying to get my WiX working but it just won't work. This is the code that I'm using: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Product Id="96e70525-4cd1-4920-9c0b-91055c79a962" Name="SetupProject1" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="SetupProject1" UpgradeCode="868734f0-adb2-48d3-a99b-d72033e5cbb4"> <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" /> <Media Id="1" Cabinet="media1.cab" EmbedCab="yes" /> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="INSTALLPATH"> <Directory Id ="SUBFOLDER" > <Component Id="snow" Guid="868734f0-adb2-48d3-a99b-d72033e4cbb5" > <File Id="snow" Source="snow.txt"/> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> <!-- TODO: Remove the comments around this Component element and the ComponentRef below in order to add resources to this installer. --> <!-- <Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="c15c12b0-5992-47a3-aa8b-77e669249d3a"> --> <!-- TODO: Insert files, registry keys, and other resources here. --> <!-- </Component> --> </Directory> <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="SetupProject1" Level="1"> <!-- TODO: Remove the comments around this ComponentRef element and the Component above in order to add resources to this installer. --> <!-- <ComponentRef Id="ProductComponent" /> --> <!-- Note: The following ComponentGroupRef is required to pull in generated authoring from project references. --> <ComponentRef Id="a"/> <ComponentGroupRef Id="Product.Generated" /> </Feature> </Product> </Wix> When I run the generated .msi with from commandline as mentioned in the beginning of the mail, I get the following error: "Could not access network location Ice" Why is "Ice" not being treated as a RelativePath? Kindly suggest what is wrong here and what can I do to fix it.
