Well... yes. But since the installation script always fails since it can't find the Files subdir of the ..\Wizards\setup dir I assumed I was missing something. I'll try to install it manually then instead.

...and how do you transform the source layout to the distribution layout? I'm using Igor's changes to the installation script as a workaround until I fully understand this issue.

Well, there is no special reason. CVS simply has Setup folder to store setup script files there, while they are supposed to be in the main Wizard folder in the distribution layout. Long time ago I just decided not to match source code layout with the distribution one, so I can easily change things if needed.
I don't see this as a big problem. Distributions should be easily used, source code can be different because CVS changes are much harder to do.

Hi! I don't seem to be able to find the wizards in the CVS? I am particularly interested in those/that for Whidbey.
Thanks for any insights.

Ah, I see. The directory structure has changed, but the scripts were not modified to account for it.
Try relpacing
var strValue = FileSys.GetAbsolutePathName(".");
if(strValue == null || strValue == "")
strValue = ".";
var strSourceFolder = FileSys.BuildPath(strValue, "Files");
with
var strValue = FileSys.GetAbsolutePathName("..");
if(strValue == null || strValue == "")
strValue = "..";
var strSourceFolder = strValue;
You may want to file a bug on this.
Aha! Thanks. I'll file it "for completeness" since you've already fixed it, at least on the forum.
As mentioned in bug #1030942, App Wizard setup scripts should not be run from the source code layout, but from the distribution layout.
Cheers,
Nenad
What is the reason the two are different?
