Hi,
I am using Wix 3.6 with Visual Studio 2012. I am using this section in wixproj
file to harvest required files from ASP.NET MVC application:
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<MSBuild Projects="%(ProjectReference.FullPath)" Targets="Package"
Properties="Configuration=$(Configuration);Platform=AnyCPU"
Condition="'%(ProjectReference.WebProject)'=='True'" />
<PropertyGroup>
<DefineConstants>BasePath=%(ProjectReference.RootDir)%(ProjectReference.Directory);</DefineConstants>
<LinkerBaseInputPaths>%(ProjectReference.RootDir)%(ProjectReference.Directory)obj\$(Configuration)\Package\PackageTmp\</LinkerBaseInputPaths>
<HeatDefinitions>MySourcePath=%(ProjectReference.RootDir)%(ProjectReference.Directory)obj\$(Configuration)\Package\PackageTmp\</HeatDefinitions>
</PropertyGroup>
<HeatDirectory OutputFile="%(ProjectReference.Filename).wxs"
Directory="%(ProjectReference.RootDir)%(ProjectReference.Directory)obj\$(Configuration)\Package\PackageTmp\"
DirectoryRefId="INSTALLFOLDER"
ComponentGroupName="%(ProjectReference.Filename)_Project"
AutogenerateGuids="true" SuppressCom="true" SuppressFragments="true"
SuppressRegistry="true" SuppressRootDirectory="true" ToolPath="$(WixToolPath)"
PreprocessorVariable="var.BasePath"
Condition="'%(ProjectReference.WebProject)'=='True'" />
</Target>
The above section is working fine in other three solutions, but fails in one
solution with this particular error:
heat.exe(0,0): error HEAT0321: The harvest type was not found in the list of
loaded Heat extensions.
The whole output (first few lines are from msdeploy packaging command):
22> Sample script for deploying this package
is generated at the following location:
22>C:\MVCStarterBase\BBCStartProject\Web\obj\Debug\Package\Web.deploy.cmd
22>For this sample script, you can change the deploy parameters by changing the
following file:
22>C:\MVCStarterBase\BBCStartProject\Web\obj\Debug\Package\Web.SetParameters.xml
22> C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin\Heat.exe dir
C:\MVCStarterBase\BBCStartProject\Web\obj\Debug\Package\PackageTmp\ -cg
Web_Project -dr INSTALLFOLDER -scom -sreg -srd -var var.BasePath -ag -sfrag
-out Web.wxs
22>heat.exe(0,0): error HEAT0321: The harvest type was not found in the list of
loaded Heat extensions.
22>Done building project "Setup.wixproj" -- FAILED.
22>
22>Build FAILED.
If I run the above command in cmd window, no error occurs (I just have to
include quotes for heat.exe path). As I understand, "The harvest type was not
found in the list of loaded Heat extensions" error occurs if I specify bad
harvest type name, but "dir" is a legitimate harvest type name.
Any help is appreciated.
