Currently the WinOF installer is based on the WIX (Windows Installer XML) 2.0 specification.
WIX developers are at version 3.5, with a stable version released at WIX version 3.0.
Before WIX 2.0 is deprecated, I'd like to move the WinOF installer forward to WIX 3.0 to take advantage of new functionality.
The WIX 3.0 src base is more streamlined (easier to use, less to code) and provides additional functionality. More CustomActions can be replaced with WIX code thus further simplifying the WinOF installer implementation.
Overall the WIX 3.0 environment is more flexible in custom install screen layouts.
OFA license file no longer has to reside in the folder where the WOF.wxs file resides; file copy/delete operations are removed.
Compressed attribute becomes a Product attribute instead of a file attribute; less to specify for each file.
OpenSM service is started via WIX code instead of a CustomAction calling 'sc.exe'.
If anyone has serious concerns please contact me ASAP.
Commit timeframe is Friday 11-20-09.
The WIX 3.0 installers have been tested (installed, verified, uninstalled and checked for leftovers) on x86, x64 and ia64 architectures for all Windows variants: XP32, XP64, Server 2003, Server 2008, Server 20008 R2, Windows 7 with no observed problems.
Thanks,
Stan.
More Details:
The bulk of the WIX src includes WIX\common\*.inc diffs consist of the removal of NAME="xxx" as WIX 3.0 will automatically generate the 8.3 short name from the LONGNAME="xxx" argument.
WIX source file mods are of the nature
