Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the suggestion.
Yep, that is the path I have chosen and so far, so good.

ConfigMgr console integration is kind of my company's jam and that's more or
less what we do: a custom action to write the XML files.

Hi,

 

I need to build a MSI for a "plugin" solution.

In other words, I need the MSI to copy files to a directory(s) that are part
of another install.

The specifics are for the MSI to install a "Microsoft System Center
Configuration Manager" (SCCM) "console extension".

Currently, I just have a zip file which the user extracts.

Within the zip, I have an install.CMD and uninstall.CMD.

The install.CMD just uses the copy command to copy the files into
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Configuration
Manager\AdminConsole\[bin|XmlStorage].

My first thought is to use a custom action that will run the install.CMD
(and uninstall.CMD for uninstalling).

I was just wondering if there is a better approach within WIX.

Also, I would really like the solution to just be an MSI, not an exe
(bootstrap).

Thank you in advance.
