Brian, I've had this with my C++ CA DLL - I ended up modifying wix.targets in C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.0 and adding my own variable $(MyExtraLinkBinaries) to the Inputs list of the Link target: ... /> I then added the output of my CA DLL to that variable in my .wixproj file: $(MyExtraLinkBinaries);..\CustomActions\$(Configuration)\CustomActions.dll Regards, John - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

DTF targets aren't wired into WiX targets to hook up output, as far as I can see. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
[WiX-users] Changes in DTF projects don't trigger a rebuild of the MSI
I have a VS 2008 solution with a DTF project and a WiX project which uses my
DTF custom action DLL. I have manually set the project dependencies such that
the DTF project builds before the WiX project.
Theoretically, a change in the custom action code in the DTF project should
trigger a rebuild of the MSI. However, I'm observing that this does not
happen. I find I have to clean the solution and do a full rebuild anytime I
change my DTF custom action.
Perhaps this is "by design" but it does not seem like the way it should work.
Can anyone comment?
