Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: votive Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Andrew Sampson (malesh) >Assigned to: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Summary: Project references to a compiler extension fail in Votive Initial Comment: If a solution is created that contains a Compiler extension and a WiX MSI project, then Votive fails to reference the extension correctly. When using a project reference the candle call is this: C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\candle.exe -dDebug -d"DevEnvDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\\" -dSolutionDir=C:\Projects\AndrewS\WixInstalls\ -dSolutionExt=.sln -dSolutionFileName=WiXInstalls.sln -dSolutionName=WiXInstalls -dSolutionPath=C:\Projects\AndrewS\WixInstalls\WiXInstalls.sln -dWiXComExtension.Configuration=Debug -d"WiXComExtension.FullConfiguration=Debug|Any CPU" -d"WiXComExtension.Platform=Any CPU" -dWiXComExtension.ProjectDir=C:\Projects\AndrewS\WixInstalls\WiXComExtension\ -dWiXComExtension.ProjectExt=.csproj -dWiXComExtension.ProjectFileName=WiXComExtension.csproj -dWiXComExtension.ProjectName=WiXComExtension -dWiXComExtension.ProjectPath=C:\Projects\AndrewS\WixInstalls\WiXComExtension\WiXComExtension.csproj -dWiXComExtension.TargetDir=u:\bin\WiXComExtension\ -dWiXComExtension.TargetExt=.dll -dWiXComExtension.TargetFileName=WiXComExtension.dll -dWiXComExtension.TargetName=WiXComExtension -dWiXComExtension.TargetPath=u:\bin\WiXComExtension\WiXComExtension.dll -out obj\Debug\MDPlus.wixobj -ext "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\WixNetFxExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\WixUIExtension.dll" MDPlus.wxs When using a reference to the build dll, it looks like this: C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\candle.exe -dDebug -d"DevEnvDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\\" -dSolutionDir=C:\Projects\AndrewS\WixInstalls\ -dSolutionExt=.sln -dSolutionFileName=WiXInstalls.sln -dSolutionName=WiXInstalls -dSolutionPath=C:\Projects\AndrewS\WixInstalls\WiXInstalls.sln -out obj\Debug\MDPlus.wixobj -ext U:\bin\WiXComExtension\WiXComExtension.dll -ext "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\WixNetFxExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\WixUIExtension.dll" MDPlus.wxs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: sameer garde (sameerg) Date: 2008-04-22 17:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2017144 Originator: NO Andrew, If I understand this correctly you're saying that the compiler extension works when referenced as a 'file' but fails when referenced as a 'project'. If so this is by design at this point. References to a project are limited in what they can do. At this point a project reference will provide you with the ability to set build order dependencies and also generate some special variables that give you details about the project's name, output path, outout file name etc. These variables can then be used in your WiX authoring so that certain changes to your code project won't necessitate a change in its related setup authoring. Feel free to log this as a feature request however... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1947040&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
