08/27/2019, 3:50 PMI've been trying to build an msi for windows with a pre-written config. There seem to be references to a windows provisioning file (and it's available on the readthedocs.io) but then some of the files it references are no longer there. Has the process for building a windows msi changed, and is it documented anywhere?

Install "Make" too. Get all your flags in order and give it a shot. The PS1 always failed for me during certain phases of it.

08/29/2019, 8:37 PMWhat component expects the Wix311 folder to be outside the default? In my setup, I let Chocolatey install it to where it wanted to. It was just that I had to add it to the PATH system env variable.
