What is the reason you want to change light.exe parameteres Anton? Understanding that might help us direct you better.

Hello all.

I have one question regarding compilation msi-packages with omnibus-ruby.

As i see, omnibus compiles msi with this command:

    def msi_command

      msi_command = ["light.exe",

                     "-nologo",

                     "-ext WixUIExtension",

                     "-cultures:en-us",

                     "-loc #{install_path}\\msi-tmp\\#{package_name}-en-us.wxl",

                     "#{install_path}\\msi-tmp\\#{package_name}-Files.wixobj",

                     "#{install_path}\\msi-tmp\\#{package_name}.wixobj",

                     "-out #{config.package_dir}\\#{output_package("msi")}"]

      # Don't care about the 204 return code from light.exe since it's

      # about some expected warnings...

      [msi_command.join(" "), {:returns => [0, 204]}]

    end

Could you talk, how i can redefine that and execute light.exe with some additional parameters?

I need to create some complicated msi-installer with help of your instrument, and i need ability to change parameters for light.exe.
