Re: [WiX-users] Cannot view RootView.xaml file in visual studio 2010
Hi Rob, My mistake. I should have been more descriptive with my wix.zip reference. I was referring to the wix-16a8b5dbf828f92e28138ce3c9ee852affeaa1ef.zip. Just curious, since I have you attention, but what is the preferred method to using the existing wixBA? Is it first creating a new solution in visual studio then adding the wixBA and core projects? Or what I mentioned above in my previous post in order to get things to work? I would like to prevent others from having this bad experience.

Sounds like you are getting snapshots of the source code from GitHub. Usually, if you want the source code I'd say just use git to clone the repo. The WixBA also isn't designed to be a starting point. It's good as a reference codebase but the source code certainly isn't packaged up as a starter kit. ___ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -Original Message- From: linos [mailto:lino...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 5:49 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Cannot view RootView.xaml file in visual studio 2010 Hi Rob, My mistake.

Re: [WiX-users] Cannot view RootView.xaml file in visual studio 2010
Ok I think I figured this one out. Well what works for me. In case someone else runs into this problem here is what I did. I downloaded the wix.zip file from the wix website and right clicked on the zip file went to properties and checked 'unblock'. I then create a new wpf solution and named it TestBA. I then created two new wpf projects, one named TestBA and the other Core. I then manually copied all files from the core project located under the src\ext\BalExtension\mba\core\ directory to my newly created Core project. Then I copied all files under the src\Setup\WixBA directoy to my newly created TestBA project directory. Now with all the files moved respectively under the each directory, I edited the namespaces for each project. I also updated the 'suppress warnings' and xml file documentation file in the core project properties and updated the reference assemblies to match the existing core project. And for the TestBA project I needed to update the namespace in the project properties as well as the references to match the existing WixBA project references. So basically I needed to create a new solution file along with two wpf projects and add the source code manually. Unless someone else can prove otherwise, I believe there is something inherently bad with WPF projects when zipped and shipped. I'm not sure if its related to security or windows 7 security or possibly a bug within visual studio 2010. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Cannot-view-RootView-xaml-file-in-visual-studio-2010-tp7596500p7596565.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Slashdot TV.

Re: [WiX-users] Cannot view RootView.xaml file in visual studio 2010
So, I was able to fix my problem on my local PC, but since then I needed to switch on over to a VM that is running Window7. To my surprise the problem came back, but only on the VM. This is very disturbing especially when the folder containing all of the source code was copied from the PC, which works. What would cause this problem from one machine to another?? Up to my eye balls with frustration, I decided to take on another path, which was create a new BA project and call it testBA instead of wixBA. I'm successfull in building my project, but ran into the same problem as before where I cannot view the RootView.xaml file only this time I'm, receiving another error.
