Ratula,

 

Thanks for the fast response

.

When I run VS2005 under Admin priv. the build (I try to build the
project inside Visual Studio) doesn't work. Is there any workaround ??

Or do I have to use the console??

 

Thanks,

Frank

I think this problem will be solved if you build from an Administrator
command prompt.

 

The reason:- When you execute light.exe, it runs validation by default &
validation is a form of installation, and in Vista, installation
requires elevation.

 

So, you can just try building from an Administrator command prompt, I
hope the build will be completed successfully!!

 

Thanks,

Ratula

Hello,

 

I need some help, I'm new to wix and trying around a little bit with it.

First I was using Votive v2 under VS 2005 and Vista, it worked fine, but
I couldn't access any User Interfaces.

So I uninstalled v2 and installed the latest v3 release and also the VS
add on.

 

When I try to build the Solution the following error occurs:

 

Error      1             "Light.exe" exited with code -532459699.
C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.0\Wix.targets
1115      6             WixProject3

 

The source is quite simple:

                  <ComponentRef Id="ProductComponent" />

            </Feature>

      </Product>

</Wix>

 

Maybe I'm doing a stupid beginners mistake, but can you please help me??

 

Thanks!

 

Frank
