Re: [WiX-users] wix.targets problem in latest weekly build
Right, I remember reading something about those breaking changes a while back. Even if I add those attributes though, I still have problems. With those changes the project files parse, but I still have the problem on where I get the error that the target Link does not exist in the project. I also get an error on another setup that ways that 'mergemod.dll' could not be found. I'm going to try recreating some setups from scratch and see what happens. I did try a simple (empty) project, and that built, so it must have something to do with the projects that I already have. -Original Message- From: Simon Dahlbacka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 8:44 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] wix.targets problem in latest weekly build
That sounds like a known issue when opening an older .wixproj with a newer build of WiX. See my blog for an explanation and steps to resolve the issue: http://blogs.msdn.com/jasongin/archive/2008/07/09/votive-project-platform-configurations.aspx The schema errors reported by VS are a red herring. The MSBuild schema is open so that many kinds of new elements can be defined, which VS then doesn't know about. -Jason- -Original Message- From: Chris Bardon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 5:37 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] wix.targets problem in latest weekly build I just tried upgrading to build 3.0.4624.0 from 3.0.4014.0, and I noticed that my setup projects won't build anymore.

Re: [WiX-users] wix.targets problem in latest weekly build
Oh, I just noticed Simon beat me to it. If you still have problems building the project, recreating your project file will probably fix it. I recall there were was an issue with mergemod.dll registration a while back, but I don't know the details and I think it's fixed in recent builds. Do you have more information about that error? -Jason- -Original Message- From: Chris Bardon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 6:51 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] wix.targets problem in latest weekly build
So I found a couple of solutions so far. It looks like mergemod.dll wasn't installed to the C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin directory with the new build, so I manually copied it over and fixed that error. Then the Link symbol looks like it was caused by this line in my wixproj: PropertyGroup BuildDependsOnPrepareForBuild;Compile;Link;BuildBootstrapper/BuildDep endsOn /PropertyGroup I checked out the wix.targets file though, and it looks like the Compile and Link steps were combined, so I changed the section to this: PropertyGroup Condition= '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x86' BuildDependsOnPrepareForBuild;CompileAndLink;BuildBootstrapper/BuildD ependsOn /PropertyGroup The setup builds now, but now it looks like I have one other issue-I'm building two cultures (en-US;fr-CA), but the setup is running in french on an english version of Windows. Now to see if I can solve that particular problem... -Original Message- From: Jason Ginchereau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 10:55 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
