[WiX-users] How do you use VS2005_PROJECTTEMPLATES_DIR, etc... from WixVSExtension

[Ian Sullivan]

I'm trying to use
    <PropertyRef Id='VS2005_SCHEMAS_DIR'/>
    <PropertyRef Id='VS2005_PROJECTTEMPLATES_DIR'/>
    <PropertyRef Id='VS2005_ITEMTEMPLATES_DIR'/>
    <PropertyRef Id='VS90_SCHEMAS_DIR'/>
    <PropertyRef Id='VS90_PROJECTTEMPLATES_DIR'/>
    <PropertyRef Id='VS90_ITEMTEMPLATES_DIR'/>

For things like
    <DirectoryRef Id="VS2005_PROJECTTEMPLATES_DIR">
      <Directory Id="Dir_MyProjectTemplatesVS2005" Name="MyTemplates">
        <Component Id="Comp_ProjectTemplatesVS2005" DiskId="1" 
Guid="$(var.Comp_ProjectTemplatesVS2005_Guid)">

But I'm getting the following link errors
Unresolved reference to symbol 'Directory:VS2005_PROJECTTEMPLATES_DIR' in 
section 'Fragment:'.                Installer\Integration.wxs              302  
       1              Installer

1              Installer

 Installer
Unresolved reference to symbol 'Directory:VS2005_SCHEMAS_DIR' in section

1              Installer

I'm pretty sure I've got the correct WixVSExtension referenced, since these 
references
    <PropertyRef Id='VS2005DEVENV'/>
    <CustomActionRef Id="VS2005Setup"/>

seem to work (I don't get any reference errors about VS2005Setup or 
VS2005DEVENV)
      <Custom Action="VS2005Setup" Before="InstallFinalize"> VS2005DEVENV 
</Custom>

          <Extension Id="myext" ContentType="text/xml">
            <Verb Id="Open" Command="&amp;Open in Visual Studio 2005" 
TargetProperty="VS2005DEVENV" Argument="&quot;%1&quot;" />
          </Extension>

I'm using version 3.0.4123.0

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Ian
