Re: [WiX-users] MSI Factory

[Pally S. <pal...@ie...>]

 
I did the same. Works completely fine.
Started WinXP SP3 VM.
Installed Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode)
Installed WiX v3.0.5308.0
Launched Visual Studio 2008 IDE from shortcut on Start menu.
Clicked the "Create Project" link on the Start Page & I can see the WiX
project types.
Clicking OK in the Create Project dialog does what you'd expect.

James can you send more one line e-mails to the list every 5 minutes
please.

Yes - I mentioned that as when you said you could not get it to install
I did this:

1. Loaded up my VMWare "Installer Test XP" VM - this is a base Win XP
SP3 install 2. Installed the VS 2008 Shell (integrated mode) 3. Opened
up VS 2008 - it loaded fine - did a bit of "configuring" itself - I then
exited 4. Installed WiX 3.0.5217 - no problems 5. Opened VS 2008 and the
WiX templates were there

And independently of this I build all my Installers in a separate VM
which is configured just like above + a few more useful Installer Tools
(Win Installer SDK etc) - it was some ancient WiX 3 build I originally
had on this and I have since installed many updates all without problem.

So I am not sure why you are having problems with this. I would suggest
running the WiX intsaller with verbose logging to see what it is
tripping over.
