It modifies the application loader so it behaves more usefully.. it's not something I've really got around to documenting yet as it's only used by the cvsnt install - it's pretty simple in operation though. The standard deployment scripts run it across the binaries before they're put in their standard place. If you're creating an MSI it's a good idea to start with files that have already been run through it but it's not essential for testing. > On the cygwin webpages they say that installing complete means > downloading hundreds of megabytes so one should select the tools one > need only. > Which tools do I need from cygwin to work with the WIX stuff? Mines 60mb and that's with loads of extra stuff I don't need. Just do a standard install. If you want to do a full release you might want to add the libxml stuff but that's not essential (it's used for making the .chm file during release). > installer/makefile? Is this the one to use?

The paths are all in the makefile (I think). > Finally, after editing the paths to suit, how do I *use* the makefile? > Am I supposed to do something from cygwin here? No, that's just standard visual studio nmake. The bash step is because cmd.exe can't take the output from one command and use it in another (in this case the version -q command) - you could take it out and hardcode the version number but you'd have to remember to update it manually.
