Category: build process Group: v3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mark Eva (markeva) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Votive 2005 build failure Initial Comment: Following the instructions in WiX.chm(see below) results in Votive 2005 build failures. Seems like to build Votive 2005 you need VS2005 and VS 2005 SDK. Is it possible to build both Votive 2005 and Votive 2008? If so, what tools are required? What if you only want to build Votive 2008? ++++++++ Building WiX Simply run "nant" from the dev\wix directory. This will build debug bits into the "target" directory by default. To build release bits, run "nant -D:flavor=ship". You can disable building IA64-specific parts of the custom action library by running "nant -D:ia64=false". In order to fully build WiX, you must have the following Frameworks and SDKs installed: NAnt (build 2008-02-10-0.86 or later) The following components from the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 and/or Visual Studio 2008: x86 and x64 compilers, headers and libraries IA64 headers and libraries are optional, but they are necessary for IA64 custom action support If you want to be able to build optimized IA64 binaries, you'll need both the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 SDK AND Visual Studio 2008 installed. HTML Help SDK 1.4 or higher To build Sconce and Votive, you must have the following SDKs installed: Visual Studio 2005 SDK Version 4.0 Visual Studio 2008 SDK More information about the Visual Studio SDK can be found at the Visual Studio Extensibility Center. To install Votive on Visual Studio 2005 or 2008, you must have the Standard Edition or higher. To successfully build WiX with only Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 SDK (without Visual Studio 2008), you need to modify your NAnt.exe.config file to support the Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 SDK. <readregistry property="sdkInstallRoot" key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0a\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder" hive="LocalMachine" failonerror="false"/> Replace this with the following element: <readregistry property="sdkInstallRoot" key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\WinSDKNetFxTools\InstallationFolder" hive="LocalMachine" failonerror="false"/> Note the only difference is that the "v6.0a" changed to "v6.1" in the "key" attribute. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1977153&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
