That seems likely. MSBuild projects generally have one output so "chaining" them isn't really fitting into its mental model. Ideally, custom actions are all data-driven so they don't need a bunch of other authoring so if you had to maintain a separate test project, it's not a big burden. That's what I did on the projects where I used Lux: I had to test fresh install and upgrade, so I had .wixprojs to build the .msi package for system testing and a .wixproj that built the Lux tests using the same authoring as the system test packages.

You can have references to the extension so the symbols are available when the Lux targets build the test package. That note in the doc is about having your Product and Directory elements mixed together; since WiX pulls in whole fragments, you'd end up with the real Product and the test Product in view and linking would fail. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
