Hello! I have WiX project included into Visual Studio solution along with other projects written on C#. In order to automate build process I need to get output files from some of C# projects, and add them to .msi file.
Usually when you add reference from one C# project to another, msbuild copy files from output dir of referenced project to the referrer’s folder. But this rule is not applicable to WiX projects. I’ve made reference from WiX project to one of C# projects but haven’t got any files from C# project in WiX output directory. Is it possible to make standard references (which allow files to be copied)? After getting all of the files in WiX output dir I’m going to filter out some of them (in pre-build event) and then automatically generate the list by the heat utility (also in pre-build event). It’s simpler than filter out Components through the xsl transformation from wxs file generated by the heat. Another issue I faced with: usually when I add file to C# project as a link I can set “Copy if newer” option for this file in it’s properties window. But in case of WiX projects there is no such option. May be I missed something? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
