WiX: This feature will be installed to run from network

Question

WiX.

How does work this variant of the feature installing? How can I disable it? I see nothing about it here . My admin told to me that he nothing knows about it too.

Answer 1

您可能需要在Feature元素中将InstallDefault设置为local，但这有助于查看WiX中涉及的功能。

Answer 2

Because this is an issue also in 2022, here one solution:

Inside your <Feature> add an empty <ComponentRef Id="yourFeatureId"/>

Ensure, that this referenced Component resist inside your TARGETDIR. This prevent the Network-target.

Example:

<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">
        <Component Id="yourFeatureId" Guid="{C8F07DC5-50C6-450E-A398-A520735FC5A9}" />
</DirectoryRef>

Works in my Project:-)
