[Gtk-sharp-list] Advice on Gtk# and WIX

Sat Oct 31 07:27:54 EDT 2009

Source="../Pre-Requisites/To Run Application/W2K3/x86_x64/gtksharp-2.8.3-win32-0.0.exe"

This refers to the location of the exe. It can be 2.8 or 2.12. Just give here the location where you keep the installation package of GTK#. The installation of the GTK# will be done by the WIX setup that you are creating.

you can launch multiple number of installers from a WIX project. even I am using 2 from my installer, GTK# and Mono.

the following custom action triggers the installation:

 <CustomAction Id="InstallGtk" FileKey="GTKSETUP" ExeCommand="/silent"
 Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no"
             Return="ignore"/>

You can refer WIX tutorial for further assistance.

Thanks Libin, but I require gtksharp-2.12. I don't know if i'm missing
something but I only see a msi installer available.

I was told that one should not(or cannot) launch more than one msi at the
same time? even if this is possible, what WIX action can one use to launch a
msi?

I looked at the post http://go-mono.com/forums/#nabble-td16301589 where Brad
refers to some wix merge modules that will be made available about a year
ago. Does anyone know if this realized? if so, where can I get them?
