WIX Create folder from values present in file during installation

96 Views Asked by At

I am a Wix novice, first of all. I am trying to create an installer using Wix. I am using Visual Studio 2012 and I have Wix toolkit installed.

In my installer I have a version.ini file which contains the version information. During each build, the version.ini file will be updated. I need to create a folder using the version specified in version.ini and copy some files to that folder created during installation. I prefer the version.ini should not be deployed during installation.

I went through some threads here. What I got is since the version.ini file is present during build time, we need to use it rather than creating custom actions. But I don't know how.

Can someone help? I really appreciate if you could provide sample code.

Thanks, ssn
