Agreed. This is precisely why the "Configuration Manager" dialog box has those
little check boxes labelled "Build" :)

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Build behavior for WiX projects
I am a little confused by this change. In my opinion this should behave exactly
like any other project in the solution, whether it's written in C++, C# or even
LOGO :)

Subject: [WiX-users] Build behavior for WiX projects
In the recent builds, we have changed the build behavior of WiX project so that
it only builds by default if it is the only project in the solution. If you
have more than one project in a solution, the WiX project will not build
automatically. This allows you to skip building the WiX project with no
overhead when you make tweaks in your application code until you have all your
bits ready to be packaged.
This implies that when you build the solution using MSBuild on the command
line, the WiX project in the solution (assuming there is more than one project)
will not be built. If you want the WiX project to build with the solution, you
will need to change the build configuration via the Configuration Manager
console in Visual Studio. Alternatively, you may choose to build the .wixproj
separately through another process.
We want to get a feel from the community how this new build behavior is working
out for people. A few things to consider:
* How do you like this new build behavior? Is it intuitive and easier
to use?
* Consider other options and how those might be better:
o Make WiX project to always build by default in the solution.
o Make WiX project to only build by default in Release configuration but not
in Debug configuration.
o Others suggestions?
Please let us know your thoughts.
