How would your EXE know which web server to get the config file from... -----Original Message----- From: Phill Hogland [mailto:phogl...@rimage.com] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2013 1:45 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Web download from web site, not existing when compiled
I have been studying the Setup source code for WiX 3.7 and working on the payload packages for a bundle which will do web downloads. However the payload will not be hosted on a web site that exists when the package is created. Rather the bundle package and all related files will be included in a asp.net web application setup package. So the customer (whose network is typically isolated from the Internet) will install a server (which includes hardware that we sell) and the setup for that server will install IIS(7) and create a web site. That web site will present a page that remote clients on that isolated network will browse to, and download this bundle package to install the chained client tools. So as I study the manual and the WiX 3.7 source code, the one issue I am not clear on is whether I can create a package that will be hosted on a web site whose URL or IP address is not known when the package is compiled. It seems the examples assume that that the web server exists at build time. I am trying to plan the project and thought maybe I could read a config file on the web server to build the path for the URL. Does this seem feasible. Any and All advice is greatly appreciated!!!
