Re: [WiX-users] WiX Team Build Across Multiple Solutions
If you have multiple solutions already then perhaps you just need one more solution of the wix project(s). You would naturally want that solution to be the last solution you build. All your dependencies are build output from the other solutions so you may need to have relative paths to the build output for your content. I can't provide more specific advice without more specific details about your build process. Something to consider might be to create one or more binary wixlibs in each of your existing solutions. Then you can create a solution with a project for the install package which depends only on the wixlibs and a smaller set of resources that don't fit the model. You'd still need the installer solution to go last, of course. Edwin G.

I read the directions on http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/msbuild.htm regarding this but this sounds like for 1 solution. I was going to use WiX to create an install package that incorprates elements from multiple solutions, database solutions, old vb compiled code, and just stand alone files checked into source control. I don't understand how I am supposed to integrate this into visual studio becuase these instructions seem to say, add the wix project to your solution (and do a few other things and it will be picked up automatically my team build), BUT i have many different solutions. So what is the best way to go about doing this install?

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Team Build
How do I pass preprocessor variables to WiX using MSBuild task? I tried this MSBuild Projects=Installer.wixproj Properties=DefineConstants=%22Name1=Value1%3bName2=Value2%22 / But it did not work.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Team Build
I made installer projects using Votive, then just build those as part of my solution build. Simple and easy.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Team Build
Our case is not as easy. We have a couple of different configuration/platform builds and installer contains files from multiple configuration/platforms so it has to run in AfterCompile. -Original Message- From: Christopher Karper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 00:22 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
