As usually happens to me...
as soon as i posted this yesterday i found the problem. because i switched to
referencing the wixlib file directly the project dependency order was lost and
the votive project was building before the application.
sorry about the dumb post.

i tried running my solution from msbuild instead of from the ide and get the
following error:
light.exe : error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file
'..\uilib\bin\Debug\uilib.wixlib' with type 'Source'.
the solution builds fine through the ide.
i have < DefineSolutionProperties > false </ DefineSolutionProperties >
there are two votive projects in the solution, one msi project that references
the wixlib generated from a ui wixlib project.
are there any other differences besides the solution properites when running
from an msbuild command line that may cause this error?
The file is where it is looking for it, i have tried absolute paths as well.
thanks

There are actually two bugs here (or NYI features, however you'd like to view
it J). The first bug is that Votive (.wixproj) projects actually don't work
with project references right now (meaning that you can't have a project
reference to another wixproj and have it generate the preprocessor variables).
The second bug is that adding a project reference to a wixlib will not
automatically use that generated wixlib in the link step. Adding an actuall
reference to the wixlib will work, as you pointed out. If you'd like to add
bugs for both of these, it would be great. I knew about them, but haven't
logged bugs against them yet, and therefore they've fallen off my radar.
Thanks,
Justin

Subject: [WiX-users] votive project reference to wixlib
I have a wixlib project in my solution that houses my custom UI. When I add a
project reference to that wixlib project from my msi project it doesn't
resolve. I found that I can add a reference directly to the wixlib file and it
works. I was just wondering if that is the expected way to add references or if
a project reference is supposed to work?
Thanks,
steve
