WiX is definitely a good tool to author MSI packages with. However it does leave an option to the user to uninstall a fix, which could result in files/registry/whatever removed from the target machine, so your authoring should take that into account.
Another issue is that one fix may be dependent on another fix to function correctly. Once again your authoring might be complex for one MSI to test that all other MSIs it depends on are present. All in all I would consider having a fix-it service check periodically for new updates and apply them without MSI packages. Does that make sense? ----- Nir Bar Freelance Developer Mail: nir....@panel-sw.com Web: www.panel-sw.com - C++ On Windows, Linux and Embedded Platforms - WiX & InstallShield -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Implementing-Microsoft-Fixit-is-Wix-the-right-tool-tp7599538p7599542.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
