Hi, was just wondering if the plan with the utilextension is to pull this out into a util.xsd file in V3?
As the other extensions like iis has their own .xsd files.
For others who want to add intellisense for XMLFile this is how to do it:
1. Created the file Util.xsd (or whatever) in %iprogramfiles%\Windows Installer XML v3\doc (if default install location is used)
2. Copy and paste the content below util.xsd into the file you created.
3. Edit catalog.xml in %programfiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Xml\Schemas
4. Add the following line :
<Schema href="" Files\Windows Installer XML v3\doc\util.xsd"
targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension" />
5. Ready to go, and the nice ting is you can add more of the util schema if the need presents itself.
6. To use this in VS 2005, add the following at the top of the wix file:
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension">
7. To access the XMLFile element with intellisense just write <util: in you'r wix code.
8. That's it.
Util.xsd :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:wix="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
