MSBuild Extended Tasks

Provides a way to dynamically generate file elements in a component defined in a Wix file.

Example Usage:

<WixAddFilesToComponent Files="@(ScriptFiles)" 
    XPath="$(JsBaseXPath)" NamespaceURI="$(Namespace)" 
    Namespaces="$(NamespaceManager)" XmlFile="$(WixFile)" /> 

Attribute	Description	Required	Type	Direction
XmlFile	The file to make the changes to	True	String	Input
XPath	The XPath to find the component to add the files to	True	String	Input
NamespaceURI	The default namespace. This is set to http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi by default.	False	String	Input
Namespaces	A string array of prefix:namespace strings.	False	String[]	Input
Files	An array of files to add.	True	String[]	Input
Compressed	Indicates if the files should be marked compressed	False	Boolean	Input
Disk	The disk id to assign the files to	True	Integer	Input
KeyPath	Indicates if the files should be marked as a KeyPath	False	Boolean	Input
Vital	Indicates if the files should be marked as Vital	False	Boolean	Input
Hidden	Indicates if the files should be marked as Hidden	False	Boolean	Input
SystemFile	Indicates if the files should be marked as system files	False	Boolean	Input
ReadOnly	Indicates if the files should be marked as readonly	False	Boolean	Input

Note: Namespaces contains "wix:http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" by default. Since the document has a default namespace, the "wix" prefix is used to perform an XPath Query.

Here is an example XPath query to pass to this task to find the component.

 //wix:Component[@Guid='$(MyComponentGuid)']
