In the BootstrapperApplicationRef element, try to add the payloads there and see how it goes.

Subject: [wix-users] How to copy the payloads required for setup exe

Hello All,
I need to copy some dlls required for execution of the setup exe.
>From the log, it seems that the exe is launched from temp directory...

path:

*C:\Users\Shanky\AppData\Local\Temp\{DFC667BF-952E-4477-972E-3698339F578F}\.cr\MySetup.exe*
How to copy the payload dlls need for execution to the directory ( created at runtime ) with UID name
*?*

I tried using the payload options for msi package*, *but the dlls are getting copied into a directory under* "**C:\ProgramData\Package Cache*
*".*
But since the setup executable location is different than the cached dlls* , *the installation crashes with an error saying the required dlls missing

*.*
Is there any workaround for this issue ?

Thanks & Regards
Shanky
