Unfortunately is doesn’t work, SQL needs to full path. What we would need is a burn variable point to the cache folder - I'll add a defect so it is not lost.
To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
If that does not work, we should add a way to get the full path to a payload via the Burn variable mechanism. That won't help you in WiX v3.6 but we should be able to add it in WiX v3.7.
Post by Christian Hausknecht/CONFIGURATIONFILE=config.ini
? That sounds promising... I will try and report about it later on :-)
Thx

I have to admit I haven't tried it yet (although probably will be
doing exactly the same thing later today). Have you tried removing the
path from the /CONFIGURATIONFILE parameter?

Thank you for your hint, but could you give me an example, how to express that in WiX?
<ExePackage Id="SQLServer" SourceFile="X:\Software\Applikationen\SQL
Server\2008 R2\SQLEXPR32_x86_DEU.exe"
InstallCommand='/QS /ACTION=Install /SAPWD="express"
/IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /CONFIGURATIONFILE="C:\some\path\config.ini">
<Payload Id="SQLServerConfigFile" SourceFile="C:\some\path\config.ini" />
</ExePackage>
But the /CONFIGURATIONFILE-Parameter links to a location in my local FS.
When the installer gets started it will not find the file in that
location...

You should be able to do this using the PayLoad element as a child of
your ExePackage element.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to bundle a configuration file in burn?
Hello folks,
I would like to build a setup file for a MS SQL Server 2008 Express
Edition with a predefined configuration. One can pass a parameter
/ConfigurationFile={Absolute path to a ConfigFile.ini} to the setup
file of SQLServer in which many parameters are defined. Those config
files can easily be generated by the SQL Server UI-Setup Mode and
therefore I would like to use them also in my bundle. Now I face the
problem of how I can provide the required file and in addition which
path I must define within the parameter. Is there any chance to handle that with burn?
If not I have to provide *all* needed configuration parameters "by hand"
to the setup-file; this would solve the problem, but I consider this
to be not very comfortable... (I would have to change this long
parameter-string every time something changed...)
I hope you can give me some good advice, in order to avoid long trial and errors.
Best regards,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Christian Hausknecht
