When necessary, light will also create cabinets and embed streams in the created Windows Installer database. The linker begins by searching the set of object files provided on the command line to find the entry section. If more than one entry section is found, light fails with an error. It is not possible to create two databases from a single link operation. While the linker was determining the entry section, the symbols defined in each object file are stored in a symbol table. After the entry section is found, the linker attempts to resolve all of the references in the section by finding symbols in the symbol table.
When a symbol is found in a different section, the linker recursively attempts to resolve references in the new section. This process of gathering the sections necessary to resolve all of the references continues until all references are satisfied. If a symbol cannot be found in any of the provided object files, the linker aborts processing with an error indicating the undefined symbol.
After all of the sections have been found, complex and reverse references are processed. This processing is where Components and Merge Modules are hooked to their parent Features or, in the case of Merge Modules, Components are added to the ModuleComponents table.
The reverse reference processing adds the appropriate Feature identifier to the necessary fields for elements like, Shortcut, Class, and TypeLib. Once all of the references are resolved, the linker processes all of the rows retrieving the language, version, and hash for referenced files, calculating the media layout, and including the necessary standard actions to ensure a successful installation sequence.
This part of the processing typically ends up generating additional rows that get added associated with the entry section to ensure they are included in the final Windows Installer database. Finally, light works through the mechanics of generating IDT files and importing them into the Windows Installer database. After the database is fully created, the final post processing is done to merge in any Merge Modules and create a cabinet if necessary.
The result is a fully functional Windows Installer database. Specifies a semicolon or comma delimited list of localized string cultures to load from. Precedence of cultures is from left to right. For more information see Specifying cultures to build. Set the default cabinet compression level. Possible values are low, medium, high, none, and mszip default.
Exact assembly versions. If this option is not specified, the assembly version is padded with zeros in certain cases to work around a bug that exists in the initial release of the. NET Framework 1. This bug was subsequently fixed in the. Use this option if you require non-padded assembly versions in the MsiAssemblyName table or in relevant bind variables , and do not mind if your MSI is incompatible with the initial release of the.
For more information, see this blog post. Note that when using this option, your setup will still be compatible with the. I have removed CustomActino. Currently i am receiving this error " light. Access is denied. Maybe take out all entries and add back one entry at a time. See sample command lines below. CA version of your managed DLL. It contains all the necessary config files for your managed dll to run. You can open CustomAction.
Votive : I suppose you could try to build the WiX project in Visual Studio to see what command lines are used for candle. That should give you a clue what might not be necessary I suppose that might be what you already did :. Here is a sample with hard coded paths in the WiX source file for how you can include your custom action dll:. The below source should hence compile on all systems without modifications:. Batch Build : This should suffice, no need to specify anything in the candle.
Here are some sample commands:. How are we doing? Please help us improve Stack Overflow. Take our short survey. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams? Collectives on Stack Overflow. Learn more.
