How to generate a wix file: WebDotNetFragment.wxs
I'm trying to generate a *.wxs file using a FinalBuilder which action am supposed to use - Im using Finalbuilder 5 and i only have:
Wix Compiler ("candle")
Wix Linker ("Light")
both of this actions dont produce the *.wxs file they just compile and the other one produces the msi file!
Hi Vusi,
I’m afraid your file did not attach to the page, you’ll need to click Reply and click Attach to add it.
The .wxs files are authored by you, with your requirements for the installer. You then pass those files to candle to generate the object files, and pass the object files to light to build the MSI.
If you need to edit the .wxs files, they are actually XML so the Edit XML / Merge XML /etc actions in FB will be able to work with them. Type “XML” into the Action Types filter to see all of the available XML actions.
For more information on authoring .wxs, check the wix manual: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_index.htm
