        Just a follow up question, how does CPack invoke candle and
          light? On Windows 7, using Process Monitor I do see these
          executables being spawned into a separate process when doing
          cpack -G "WIX".
        

        
      
    
    I am not entirely sure what you mean by "how".

    

    But you can find the invocation here:

       
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/CPack/WiX/cmCPackWIXGenerator.cxx

    

    Specifically RunLightCommand() and RunCandleCommand() run light and
    candle respectively.

    

    You might also want to take a look at:

    Which I just merged to "next" to implement:

    I hope that help!

    

    Nils --  Thank you for your reply and very quick response to the feature request I reported :-)  It is very nice that you added variable for both extension and extra_flags. This will definitely come in handy. I am still quite new to CMake so execuse the igorance but does merging the issue into next mean it will be included in the next release? Lars
