Thanks  <mailto:Jacob.Hoover at greenheck.com> @Hoover, Jacob 

 

You are right that those are not available as stand-alone binaries. 

 

I also came to know that using Orca the MSI can be opened and then the
binaries could be exported. Similarly, the signed binaries can be imported
back into the MSI. I think this approach should help.

 

Thx

https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/tree/develop/src/ext/DifxAppExtension/wix
lib/x86

 

They are compiled into the wixlib, and your project includes the lib which
includes the binaries.

 

As far as I am aware, there is no official NuGet packages for Wix3.

Hello Team



We are building an installer (msi) and patch (msp). When I opened the MSI
and MSP using the Orca tool, I can see the following two binaries being
reported in the package

DiFxApp.dll

DiFxAppA.dll



However, I am unable to see these in the WIX NuGet path I am using. 



Does anyone know where these binaries are coming from? And is there a
possibility to use these DLLs from a custom path before the compilation? The
reason is that we would like to sign these DLLs with a specific signing
certificate.



Appreciate the help. 



Thx

Manish
