Wix Bundle - How to include EXE and and support files

Question

I am trying to create a WiX bundle that contains my msi installer along with a thrid-party driver installer.

The third-party installer consists of an executable called Install_x64.exe and a few support files (.dll, etc.). The issue is that Install_x64.exe expects a folder in its working directory called X64 that contains all the support files it needs.

Adding my MSI installer to the chain can be done using <MsiPackage> element. Adding the executable is also straight-forward using <ExePackage>. However, how do I ensure that WiX creates X64 folder and unpacks the support files there before executing Install_x64.exe?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Specifying the pull name in the "Name" attribute of <Payload> element worked. It creates the desired folder structure.

The example below creates a subfolder names 'X64' and places all the support files there.

<ExePackage 
            Id="FintekInstaller"
            SourceFile="..\Drivers\FitSdk\Install_x64.exe">
            <Payload Name="X64\fintek.cat" SourceFile="..\Drivers\FitSdk\X64\fintek.cat"/>
            <Payload Name="X64\Fintek.sys" SourceFile="..\Drivers\FitSdk\X64\Fintek.sys"/>
            <Payload Name="X64\FitSdk.dll" SourceFile="..\Drivers\FitSdk\X64\FitSdk.dll"/>
            <Payload Name="X64\FitSdk.inf" SourceFile="..\Drivers\FitSdk\X64\FitSdk.inf"/>
</ExePackage>
