Hello All, This reply is for Message 3 (Re: FW: Integrating WIX Project with TFS 2008 (Tobias S)) Hello Tobias S,
Yes I have already referred the online post suggested by you http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/msbuild.htm? Still no luck. Can you please inform me what changes needs to be done in .wixproj & TFSBuild.proj Files.???

This sort of post belongs on the WiX-devs list. 2 - you'd be better placed submitting a feature request on SourceForge (or CodePlex if the issue tracker has been migrated over, last time I checked we were still using SourceForge for issue tracking). 3 - if Windows Installer doesn't support it, it's very rare that WiX can support it. The CAB format is not in our hands hence anything it doesn't support isn't possible. 4 - from what I can see MakeMSI only uses UPX as part of its build process to compress Custom Action DLL's. It doesn't affect the files you install, they are still cabbed as per WiX. The savings it makes implementing this are minimal at best. 5 - the CAB format already uses LZX compression if you choose CompressionLevel="[low/medium/high]". Just because the default is MSZIP doesn't mean you have to stick with it. As we've speculated before on topics you yourself either originated or participated in (search nabble or mail-archive) this sort of thing is possible to implement in a bootstrapper (such as Burn) but if you want to package an MSI with an embedded CAB as a single file you are constrained by what Windows Installer can support.

I think that will cause Windows Installer to always replace the unversioned file on disk with what it thinks is a versioned file.

I like what Burn appears to offer. When I try to use a UX DLL that targets the .NET Framework 4, the EXE that Burn outputs won't even launch. The error log in %TEMP% shows: [4A70:46EC][2011-08-24T15:50:11]: Error 0x80131508: Failed to create the managed bootstrapper application. [4A70:46EC][2011-08-24T15:50:11]: Error 0x80131508: Failed to create UX. [4A70:46EC][2011-08-24T15:50:11]: Error 0x80131508: Failed to load UX.

When I change the UX DLL target to the .NET Framework 3.5, the EXE will launch. Is the .NET Framework 4 supported? My WiX version is 3.6.2005.0 (produced August 5, 2011).
