If people were following the the WIX-Users Mailing list, they would find that it has been a little hot recently. The first instance (as far as my knowledge goes) was with Michael creating a validation tool for the WIX Toolset called 'smoke'. I personally

As you know I'm working on a command line tool for the same purpose.

I'd be happy to use yours and save myself the trouble (assuming its free). I'll try to locate it on your site in a minute! Mine was going to include these capabilities:

(1) As well as specifying which ICEs (note that they don't need to start with the 3 letters "ICE" or be 5 chars total) to perform, it would allow you to specify which validations NOT to perform. I probably would have used regular expressions for this.

(2) Allow Multiple CUB files which would be merged (ignoring any duplications or only merging certain tables from all but the first).

Bye,
Dennis

Smoke seems to be a cool little tool, but what about if there is not cub file?

Also - I agree as to you comments on the Wix community from what I read of the GUI discussion on the user list. But, I would guess that most of the people on that list are more Microsofties than OSS people. Any how...great work!

Hi Michael,
a scriptable COM interface would be a nice feature! Makes it nice n clean to call from a vbscript etc.

best of luck with it!

Imagine a blog entry where I come to two conclusions about MSI validation and interacting with people.

Good Suggestion! Thanks for that!

I think I'm going to be posting this and at least one other code sample on DeployNow.com in a day or two (as soon as I get some of the kinks on the site worked out).

The WiX Toolkit mailing lists get pretty good traffic. The "users" list is the busiest with anywhere from 2 to 30 messages a day.

One additional feature that Orca (and I think msival2) has is the option to only run selected ICE's. So that might be another optional command line arg to have.

I thought I had joined the WiX Toolkit mailing list, but I hadn't seen any emails - I just thought it was a slow group. I will have to look into that again. :)
