Re: [WiX-users] Using WiX in a Team Build Environment
Hi Lee/Neil/All, I'm facing the same problem of building my wix project files through Team build(TFS 2008).I'm able to built my Wix project using the Project reference through visual Studio but when i run a Team build it fails with the below error error CNDL0150: Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.MyProject_Name.TargetPath)'. Are we supposed to define this variable in the wix Project at the beginning if so what is the value i should provide as it needs to be compiled when run from Team build.

Re: [WiX-users] Using WiX in a Team Build Environment
What is the target project type? Some project types do not correctly report reference information to MSBuild so they don't work outside of Visual Studio.

Re: [WiX-users] Using WiX in a Team Build Environment
Hi Neil, Thanks so much for your pointer. That worked a treat, and makes me think I am a bit of a duffer for not finding it earlier.

Subject: [WiX-users] Using WiX in a Team Build Environment Hi, I have been searching for the last few hours and haven't been able to find anything describing how to use WiX in a team build environment. My problem is that the file source location is not available when built using the tfsbuild server, if I set it using the source in my environment. eg. ../proj name/bin/build type/file name.exe When I set this location I get the error error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file '../proj name/bin/build type/file name.exe' for all the files I define this way. One work around I was considering was building the files to a common folder in the root of the solution, however this isn't as neat as using environment variables that are set by the build. I hope I have been clear enough in my description. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Lee There's a difference between a philosophy and a bumper sticker. Charles M.
