Nant's function nant::get-base-directory() might be used to retrieve the Nant.Core.dll from the currently used nant.exe (if this is an appropriate way) So far Dominik -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-Patch--Building-from-wix3-sources.zip-tp15345414p15410951.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

(and a wixlib project provided for Difx Extension) For saving space I would suggest of using 7z which reduces the size to more than a half of the current sources.zip (1506 KB to 3426 KB) .

[WiX-users] [Patch] Building from wix3-sources.zip
Hi, while I was trying to get the Complus and Msmq Extensions back to weekly builds I discovered following: The wix3-sources.zip is not in buildable state. Im just wondering if it should be? >From my point of view it would be nice if wix could be built from sources zip package. Following is missing: src\ext\DifxAppExtension\wixlib\DIFxApp.wixlib src\pyro\bin\mspatchc.dll src\light\bin\darice.cub src\light\bin\mergemod.cub src\light\bin\mergemod.dll Nant.Core assemblies (for which I can see some reasons that they are not included in source package so it's ok for me) Attached you'll find a diff with this minor change. http://www.nabble.com/file/p15345414/zip.diff zip.diff -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-Patch--Building-from-wix3-sources.zip-tp15345414p15345414.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
