I am trying to get the files from a project using heat, with the following command in my prebuild:
"$(WIX)bin\heat.exe" project "$(SolutionDir)Development\Armada\Armada.vbproj" -cg LoanProFiles -pog Binaries -pog Satellites -ag -g1 -dr INSTALLLOCATION -var env.LoanProFilesDir -out "$(ProjectDir)Fragments\LoanProFiles.wxs" The LoanProFilesDir has been set in the Build as: LoanProFilesDir=$(SolutionDir)Development\Armada\bin\$(Configuration); Building the project gives me an error: Error 3 Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.Armada.TargetDir)'. C:\Development\Armada\Deployment\LoanPro User Setup\Fragments\LoanProFiles.wxs 25 1 LoanPro User Setup The fragment file containing this error is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <DirectoryRef Id="Armada.Binaries" /> </Fragment> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="Armada.Binaries"> <ComponentRef Id="cmpDCD23B26883639A8B0C17A5083B47DF5" /> <ComponentRef Id="cmp1F56D97B4183FB48E1ECC1ABE2BF2D4E" /> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> <Fragment> <DirectoryRef Id="Armada.Satellites"> <Directory Id="dirE8F5E505CA71D6FA555950B3B44F3F64" Name="fr-CA" /> </DirectoryRef> </Fragment> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="Armada.Satellites"> <ComponentRef Id="cmpA66B167DC3F17D0D2EBC085CFC040509" /> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="LoanProFiles"> <Component Id="cmpDCD23B26883639A8B0C17A5083B47DF5" Directory="Armada.Binaries" Guid="*"> <File Id="filFDCBF7564F8EDBE2F005B5219B174746" Source="$(var.Armada.TargetDir)\LoanPro.exe" /> </Component> <Component Id="cmp1F56D97B4183FB48E1ECC1ABE2BF2D4E" Directory="Armada.Binaries" Guid="*"> <File Id="fil1E6E04076A9893D06C8C9C14CEA5C21A" Source="$(var.Armada.TargetDir)\LoanPro.exe.config" /> </Component> <Component Id="cmpA66B167DC3F17D0D2EBC085CFC040509" Directory="dirE8F5E505CA71D6FA555950B3B44F3F64" Guid="*"> <File Id="fil28EC69E211F4495FF963AF17DEE58524" Source="$(var.Armada.TargetDir)\fr-CA\LoanPro.resources.dll" /> </Component> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> </Wix> My assumption is that the $(var.Armada.TargetDir) is supposed to be replaced by $(env.LoanProFilesDir) but this does not seem to be happening. This is my first attempt to build an installer, following the steps outlined here: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenp/archive/2010/02/23/WiX-3-Tutorial-Generat ing-filedirectory-fragments-with-Heat.exe.aspx Also, the original product name had a name space of Armada which we are now trying to externally package as LoanPro. Is this part of the problem? The Solution that this package and the original source code is running under is also called Armada. Any suggestions as to how I can make this work?
