I know how to add environment variables using WiX -- I'm not worried about
adding dll's to the system's search path (i.e. augmenting %PATH%) -- it's
knowing the names and locations of where to add these values. e.g. is there a
registry key that MSVC (and by extension Visual Studio) will use to determine
include paths for C headers? If not, how do I get msbuild to recognize an add'l
include path. e.g. I have a C file:
#include <my_new_header.h>
static void blah() {
}
My installer will be adding "my_new_header.h" somewhere and I'd like for the C
compiler to just automatically pick up where the header is located (since I'm
using <>'s in #include <my_new_header.h>, it knows to search for the header in
its default search paths). Then I'd like to do the same for .libs so the linker
can pick up my .libs automatically.
Is there anything in WiX that facilitates doing this easily -- if so, what? If
I have to do it manually by creating registry keys/env. vars. that's fine - but
does anyone know the names of the env. vars. or registry keys to use? If I have
to modify an msbuild file somewhere, which one is it? How can I go about
accomplishing this?
Thanks a ton! (c:
