Ive not used AutoIt but a quick look suggests it's using createprocess. To
get output redirection on a command line you need to be in a DOS box.
Try ('cmd \c ' & $WIX_FOLDER & '\candle.exe......
You might have to fiddle with quote marks if there are spaces in your path.
Better yet, replace cmd \c with %COMSPEC% \c if the function will expand
environment variables.

Hi David,
I am not expert in candle and light but I believe that redirection in DOS
should happen at the end of the line:
RunWait($WIX_FOLDER & '\candle.exe -dmanufacturer="'&$MANUFACTURER_NAME&'"
-dproductName="'&$productName&'" -dcabName="'&$CABINET_NAME&'.cab"
-dcodepage='&$wixInitLcidCode&' -dproductGUID='&$productCode&' -out
"'&$BUILD_FOLDER&'\" "'&$BUILD_FOLDER&'\*.wxs" > myfile.txt
',$BUILD_FOLDER,@SW_MAXIMIZE)

Hi Dave,
Thank you for this link.
I have been trying to implement it into my calls, but sadly it does not seem
to work.
I have tried the redirecting with a simple cmd call and it works fine.
However I am creating an automation process using autoit, and im not sure if
I would be using the redirection correctly.
Autoit script:
RunWait($WIX_FOLDER & '\candle.exe> myfile.txt
-dmanufacturer="'&$MANUFACTURER_NAME&'" -dproductName="'&$productName&'"
-dcabName="'&$CABINET_NAME&'.cab" -dcodepage='&$wixInitLcidCode&'
-dproductGUID='&$productCode&' -out "'&$BUILD_FOLDER&'\"
"'&$BUILD_FOLDER&'\*.wxs"',$BUILD_FOLDER,@SW_MAXIMIZE)
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be incredibly
grateful.
Thanks!
