问题 I am using 2 500K bitmaps in to display images on my WiX dialogs. They dramatically increase the size of the installation package, and what is worse - it looks there's no way to package them as a part of a .cab file since they're <binary> -es in the WiX terms. So, I thught, is there any way to use other file formats for bitmaps or WiX is tethered with BMP? Ideally it would be greate if there's a way to use .png format since it comes with a looseless compression option. 回答1: The Windows

问题 I need to include a dll/exe in the resulting MSI (created through a WiX project), but I do not want to deploy them during installation: I only want to use them in some CustomAction my purpose is to include an existing exe/dll and call it during installation from wxs code (not from a CustomAction dll).

问题 In our product we use Product Id="*" in Wix to tell it to generate a new product code for every new build. We now have a requirement during install time to record the product code of the MSI being installed into one of our registry keys. We could infer the product code at runtime by looping through entries in the "Uninstall" registry keys looking for our product name and version, but it would be cleaner to directly record this information at install time. Is there a way for Wix to tell me

问题 I'm using wix3 to build a setup file, I would like to know whether the outlook is running during the installation. If the outlook is still running, the setup should notify the users to close it or have to reboot after the installation. I noticed that there is a feature can send a message to close the outlook directly, but that's not very friendly. I would like to knwo whether the FileInUse dialog can be called in such situation. Thanks. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1335260/how-to

问题 Is it possible to include "source" files in a wixlib? I have a number of c++ solutions, each containing a project or projects, and a wixlib, with a fragment containing entries such as: <File Id="MY_ID" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.my_path)\foo.exe" /> I would like to collect "foo.exe" and include it in the wixlib, then create a WiX project that links together several such wixlibs and produces an MSI. The reading I have done seems to suggest WiX3 and later supports this, and the technique is
