[wix-users] FTP from burn.

[Phill Hogland]

A comment to the following link from Bob indicates that FTP is supported in Burn by default:

I vaguely recall discussing this issue several years ago when I first implemented CDN staged packages.  I FTP the packages up to the CDN server, and then Burn handles the download automatically, although I think it is using http, based on the ExePackage/@DownloadUrl, or MsiPackage authoring.


Custom Actions only exist in the context of a MSI which is probably not related to your question.  If you need some other format than what is currently supported by Burn, then I think you are looking at working with the wix-devs to add the functionality to the WixToolset.org source.  But I suspect that Burn already has sufficient support for your needs.

Hi all.


What is the best way to FTP a file and run it from Burn.

I have some code i found that grabs the .NET framework and downloads it (using ExePackage) and runs. It does not seem to support the FTP protocol.


Is this where you write a helper DLL and use a custom action?

Or? Thoughts.


Thanks!
