I added an MSI project to check it, and it compiles ok for me. I link the
projects together as:
* The wixlib project needs to pull in the custom actions from the CA
project. Two ways to do that are
1. Use a build events in Visual Studio to copy the CA.dll file to the
wixlib project's directory (that's what I did in the code example)
2. Add the CA project as a project reference to the wixlib project (add
the project, don't add the DLL directly). Then you can use the
$(var.MyCustomActionProject.TargetDir)MyCustomAction.CA.dll as the
SourceFile to the Binary element in the wixlib's .wxs file. The preprocessor
variable is just a convenient. You can also just use the Build events to
copy the file over)
--> NOTE: The CA.dll should be bound into the library. Use either the -bf
flag or check the "Bind files into library file" option
* The extension project needs to reference the wixlib. In the code example
I used a build event to copy the compiled .wixlib file into the extension's
source code directory so that it's sitting alongside the C# files. Add the
wixlib to the extension project as an existing file and mark it as an
embedded resource.
--> Then override the GetLibarary method in the WixExtension subclass to
pull in the wixlib.
--> The WixExtension subclass should also be overriding the
TableDefinitions property to pull in the TableDefinitions.xml file.
--> In the CompilerExtension subclass, use the CreateWixSimpleReferenceRow
method to link to the CustomAction table. An example of that is in the code
example.
* The MSI project just needs to reference the extension DLL and add the
XMLNS attribute for the extension's schema. Then it should all link
together. I think that covers everything. Hopefully I didn't leave anything
out.
