[wix-users] Light.exe is trying to cache the files in object file to output directory.

Change "C:\FriendlyDVDTemp" to the same network drive location the MSI and .cab are already on.

Subject: [wix-users] Light.exe is trying to cache the files in object file to output directory.

Hi Team,

I am trying to create setup.exe using light command with below command.
Bundle.wixobj has cab & msi file references pointing to networkdrive since those files are located on the network drive. Light command is copying all the chain->msi & exe elements which are physical cab *& msi's to C:\FriendlyDVDTemp location. Is there any way to avoid the local caching to output path?

Light.exe -ext WixBalExtension -ext WixUtilExtension -cultures:en-us C:\FriendlyDVD\Bundle.wixobj -out C:\FriendlyDVDTemp\Setup.exe

Best Regards,
Ram
