Wix: single MSI instead of msi + cab
My Wix project creates install.msi and cab1.cab. How can I have it bundle everything into the msi? I will likely use 7-zip SFX to work around this but I have seen other apps with only a single msi.
You didn't post any source but I assume your wxs file has a Media element. Just set the EmbedCab attribute to "yes" in MediaTemplate
e.g.
<MediaTemplate EmbedCab="yes" />
Set EmbedCab="yes"
.
Since WIX 3.8:
<MediaTemplate EmbedCab="yes" />
Before WIX 3.8:
<Media Id="1" Cabinet="cab1.cab" EmbedCab="yes" />
Use it like this :
<Media Id="1" Cabinet="CabFileName.cab" EmbedCab="yes" />
Also this article describes other ways of doing it.
