windows installer - Wix Cabinet Caching Not Working -


i can't seem wix cabinet caching work.

i have

  <propertygroup>     <cabinetcreationthreadcount>3</cabinetcreationthreadcount>     <cabinetcachepath>cabs</cabinetcachepath>     <reusecabinetcache>true</reusecabinetcache>   </propertygroup> 

in wixproj.

<media id="1" cabinet="contents.cab" embedcab="yes" compressionlevel="mszip"/>  <media id="2" cabinet="static.cab" embedcab="yes" compressionlevel="mszip"/> 

in wxs

and component know 100% never ever changes marked

     <component diskid="2" ... 

i see cab files generated in cabs directory, each time build, see modified time of cab file change, suggests it's regenerated cabinet instead of reusing 1 cache.

using wix 3.6

how can working or debug problem further?

are building or rebuilding (i.e. /t:build or /t:rebuild)? wix import remove generated files when rebuilding. it's possible happening if building. generate verbose log passing /v:diag msbuild sure redirect file so:

msbuild /t:build /v:diag 

if not show cab file(s) being deleted, recommend checking out http://wixtoolset.org support channel.
