The Wix help contains a section "Working with visual studio". The "Using Project References and Variables" topic under there describes how visual studio settings map to Wix pre-processor variables. The one youre interested in is var.<ProjectName>.FullConfiguration. There are some others that may be of use too.
-----Original Message----- From: Daniel Sniderman [mailto:dani...@magenic.com] Sent: 10 January 2012 18:21 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Conditionally Include based on Build Configuration I'm working on automating our Build - and migrating from VS Setup to WIX. We have a Windows Forms Application that has two different Configurations - One to Deploy to Citrix Servers and another for occasionally connected Laptop Users (plus several "environments" dev/qa/prod etc) For the two different configurations the differences are in differing config settings (which I've already figured out how to) What I need help with - the Laptop MSI needs include an additional EXE and a few corresponding files - and add a shortcut to the additional EXE to the startup folder. Ideally I'd like one WIX solution (and wxs file if possible) that based on the "Configuration to Build" setting (ideally both from a desktop build and a TFS 2010 build) create the appropriate MSI. (IE - I don't want a single type of MSI that requires the user to select based on UI). What is the best way to implement this? Thanks! Daniel P.
