Hi Wix user list! I've been trying to solve a very small issue with a manually created Wix proj file and resource files...
My wixproj file (done without Visual Studio but by hand) looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"; ToolsVersion="4.0"> <PropertyGroup> <ParentDirectory>$([System.IO.Directory]::GetParent('$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)'))</ParentDirectory> <ParentDirectory Condition="!HasTrailingSlash('$(ParentDirectory)')">$(ParentDirectory)\</ParentDirectory> <ArtDirectory Condition="$(ArtDirectory) == ''">$(ParentDirectory)art</ArtDirectory> <ArtDirectory Condition="!HasTrailingSlash('$(ArtDirectory)')">$(ArtDirectory)\</ArtDirectory> </PropertyGroup> <Import Project="$(WixTargets)" /> <!-- blah blah blah, common Wix properties --> <!-- Art file is here --> <ItemGroup> <Content Include="$(ArtDirectory)SetupSplash.bmp"> <Link>SetupSplash.bmp</Link> </Content> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <Compile Include="$(SourcePath)setup.wxs" /> <Compile Include="$(SourcePath)SetupDialogs.wxs" /> </ItemGroup> </Project> Ok, I just removed a few lines that were too verbose... but as you may see it looks ok... Now, The problem is with the art... my project structure looks like this: src * setup (the wixproj is here) * art (banners and images are here) So, in build time the art stuff should be copied to the temporary build directory for the wix package, I know that I could use a "copy" task but I want to void it. I was expecting that using the Content tag the art bmp file would be copied to the temporary wix build directory, but it is not... I already tried with OtherFiles tag... Is there any way to specify resource files like this without doing the Copy task manually in MSBuild? am I missing something? I know that I could solve all of this just creating the wixproj in Visual Studio and linking manually the files, but I really wanted to avoid it (for learning purposes). Thanks for any help!
