[wix-users] Burn Loose file Install/Copy

[Phill Hogland]

I have not tried to work with "loose files" and don't know all the caveats, but it seems there are several approaches.

1) Use WixBundleSourceProcessFolder

see this list: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/bundle/bundle_built_in_variables.html

2) Use a bundle Payload element to specify where relative to the bundle.exe the file should be cached, and a tool like ProcessMon to investigate this implementation.

Subject: [wix-users] Burn Loose file Install/Copy

I am able to install loose file during installation using copy element in a setup project. When same mid used inside a bundle project(burn) the msi is unable to copy the files. Is it because the burn caches all the packages to a temporary location and that location does not have the loose files? Note the loose files are in the same directory next to the exe.
