[WiX-users] How do I include a custom extension from MSBuild?
I'm just looking for the Visual Studio/MSBuild equivalent of candle.exe Product.wxs -ext SampleWixExtension.dll. I figure it's something easy, but I haven't figured out how to trigger it yet. I did try referencing the extension project from my WiX project, but that was unsuccessful. Does anyone know how to get this to work?

[WiX-users] What is the best design to support a conditional root directory
I'm in the process of updating our product to support multiple versions of Visual Studio. I'd like a recommendation as to what would be the best way to correctly implement this while avoiding as much duplication as possible. We want to drop the same set of files under the latest Visual Studio installation. For example, if VS2010 exists then we want to place most of our files under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions. With this update, we'd like them under Latest VS\Common7\IDE\Extensions. At the same time, we want to be able to uninstall without having to determine the latest version. Any thoughts on how best to structure our .wxs file(s)? Thanks. -- EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.

Re: [WiX-users] SourceDir
Set the PreprocessorVariable. It's an optional string parameter that will substitute SourceDir for another variable name (ex: var.Dir). -Original Message- From: Satyaprakash J [mailto:sat...@smartek21.com] Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 2:54 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] SourceDir Hi I run the following command to generate the attached .wxs file. heat dir \\192.168.10.61\Share\WebAppBuildDef\WebAppBuildDef_20100808.2\Debugfile:///\\192.168.10.61\Share\WebAppBuildDef\WebAppBuildDef_20100808.2\Debug -gg -sfrag -sreg -template:product -out directory.wxs -cg WebAppComponentGroup In the directory.wxs file the Source attribute of File element is set to SourceDir\FileName.

[WiX-users] Removing a Directory Tree on Uninstall
Is there a way to say 'Remove the entire directory tree on uninstall'? Everything I install is removed, but other directories that are added programmatically are not.

[WiX-users] Build error using v3.5.1923.0
I'm seeing the following error when trying to build my WiX project. error MCB4057: The target GetResolvedReferencePaths does not exist in the project. I began seeing this error in my WiX project only recently after I linked in a new VSPackage project (created in VS2010). My searches lead me to WiX bug Can not build wix projects with references to other wix proj - ID: 2803058. It was marked as resolved, but the issue I'm seeing seems quite similar. Is this a known issue and are there workarounds?
