[WiX-users] Install issue - wix2010.target line 761

2012-02-01 Thread Mark Sugrue
I'm setting up a new build machine. VS2010, Wix3.5, etc. Everything
the same as the old machine. (both are x64 Win7 Pro)

When I try to build the installer on the new machine, I get an odd
error which I don't understand. Nothing on the web seems to match it.

The error isn't in my code, its on line 761 of wix2010.targets

The line is Exec WorkingDirectory=$(OutDir)
Command=$(ExpandedPreBuildEvent) /

I haven't edited this file at all.

The error I get is this:

Error   3       The command %WIX%\bin\heat dir
D:\Code\products\LE\bin\Debug\Help -dr HelpFolder -cg
HelpComponentGroup -var var.HelpDir -srd -gg -sfrag -suid
-template:fragment -out D:\Code\products\LE\Setup\help.wxs.sample
exited with code 3.     C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\wix2010.targets        761     6       Setup

But the exact same code compiles fine on the old machine.

Is there some setting I need to change maybe?

Thanks for the reply.

How do I set %WIX%? And what should I set it to?

Previously, I just installed WiX and compile worked fine. What might
have changed?

 I don't know. Is the %WIX% environment variable set?

 I use the HarvestDirectory items instead of the PreBuildEvent property to
 use the harvester in 3.5 myself.
