Hi Ken,
I followed the steps you have written and reached to the point of problem
however the solution is very simple. If you follow the link exactly you'll end
up creating two separate solutions and in that case you won't be able to add a
project reference. You'll get error saying this type of reference cannot be
added.
Follow the instructions with little change and you'll be able to add project
reference of MyApplication into MySetup.
1. Create MyApplication as said in Step 1 of the link
2. DO NOT follow Step 2- #1. Instead right click on the solution
('MyApplication') -> Add -> New project
3. Name it as MySetup
4. In the 2nd project (MySetup) go to Add Reference -> Project Tab
5. You'll automatically see MyApplication
6. Click on Add -> OK
Project reference will be added just fine.

Subject: [WiX-users] Problems using Wix Toolset 3.8 in Visual Studio 2013
I installed Visual Studio 2013 Professional and then downloaded and installed
Wix Toolset 3.8. From within VS -> Help -> About , I see "Windows Installer
XML Toolset 3.8.1128.0". If I choose New -> Project, I see the "Windows
Installer XML" node with seven different options like "Setup Project", etc. I
believe that I have Wix Toolset installed correctly. I have .Net 3.5
installed, which includes .Net 3.0 and .Net 2.0, so I think the Wix .Net
dependency is satisfied.
I am now trying to use the "Creating a Simple Setup" tutorial at
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/votive/authoring_first_votive_project.html
and I'm not getting very far. I would really appreciate it if someone would
point out my mistake.
The problem is with Step 2 - #5 of the Simple Setup tutorial: I am trying to
add the reference, but can't find what I need to add. I navigate to the
projects tab as instructed, but that window is empty so I cannot select the
"MyApplication" project. I tried to continue by manually browsing for a file,
but none of the files associated with MyApplication will satisfy Wix Add
Reference.
My questions are:
1) Shouldn't I be able to manually browse to a file to add the reference to Wix?
2) If so, what VS file should I be trying to add as a reference? Is it the VS
Solution file (.sln) a debug file or something else?
3) Why do my VS projects not show up under the "Projects" tab in Wix -> Add
Reference?
Thanks very much!
