Hi John, When I are created the trunkdb.wxs file i had ditected it to D:\Project\ESI\Code\trunk\db. These files exist now also and are part of the SVN source control. I do not get what you mean by "C:\Program Files (x86)" and "I'm not sure how it came up with that path" . I am just executing Light from the path C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin where in my two source files are also placed(tortenginedemo.wxs and trunkdb.wxs). By File/@Source i guess you mean that as of now in the fragment the path is only SourceDIr. Let me know how we can do that.
I need this to be dynamic in the sense that a batch file would execute that would create the directory *db**(*D:\Project\ESI\Code\trunk\db*). * The WIX installer that needs to be created should install the "db" directories that is created by the batch file. Basically i need to execute the installer when the scroipts for cruise control are fired. The firing of the cruisecontrol script fires the installer as well through a batch file. This is the approach that has been decided as of now. In case you other pointers do let me know specially the "You will need to either specify the -var argument to heat.exe with a variable name (and tweak the value so that it matches correctly) or write some build code to tweak the contents of this file." if this helps. Moreover it is not that the error is being shown foll all the files in the db directory . It is showing for about 150 files in the db directory. There are a total of 379 files in the same.
