[mapguide-internals] About the WiX installer

[Jason Birch]

It's quite possible that some files wouldn't commit to the repo (because
they were binary) and I missed them.

I think that I initially tried using the extracted TAR file, and it just
didn't work for some reason or other.

I can't remember if I actually installed MapGuide and then copied the
Apache folder, or if I used dark.exe from WiX to extract the files out
of the msi.  I think probably the former, but the latter was an
interesting exercise.  Dark is also useful for harvesting IIS website
settings from an existing website into WXS format.

Some Apache related questions/observations.

The binary apache distribution maintained in
Installer\Support\Web\Apache2
is missing the apache modules. 

Also in the interests of efficiency, could we re-use the Apache source
distribution maintained in MgDev\Oem\LinuxApt as opposed to maintaining
a
binary distribution in Installer\Support\Web\Apache2 ?
