问题描述
I have a Bin folder with many files in my project. For now, I only know how to add specific files to install folder with the code below.
<File Source='$(var.Debug)Myapplication.exe' Id='file4028276A0CAD84E3BDE449237AE31A5F' />
However, I want to move a whole directory to the install path. For example, move the whole folder "Bin" to the install path "C:Myapplication".
What should I do then?
Thanks in advance!

This looks good. But too much work to do.
How do copy a folder in wix
The above link worked fine. But cannot copy sub folders.
So what I did was, I created an app which reads the whole folder and get its sub directories and files and generates the necessary code blocks like
<Component Id="myfile" Guid="GUID">
<File Id="myfile.txt" Source="MySourceFilesmyfile.txt" KeyPath="yes" Checksum="yes"/>
</Component>
Then I added the generated code block to the .wxs file.
The initial time you spend for creating this app is not a waste. Because you can keep using it forever. I recommend you to copy file by file, because it's helpful during an upgrade or a repair. MSI keeps a record for each file which is to be copied. So it's maintainable and useful on upgrades and repairs.
