Dear Rob, Thank you for your answer. I filed a bug report for the Wine developers at http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27646.
Best regards, Zoltan 2011/6/28 Rob Mensching <r...@robmensching.com> > It seems like Wine hasn't implemented the MsiGenerateTransform() function. > Without that Torch isn't going to be much use to you. > The WiX toolset works (or at least it did work a couple years ago, I > haven't > checked in a while) on Mono but you need the MSI API implemented so that > means Windows or WINE. > 2011/6/21 Kovács Zoltán <zol...@geogebra.org> > > > Dear WiX Users and Developers, > > > > Yesterday I started to use WiX.
