Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-28 Thread Tobias S
Had similar issues when using an x64 MSBuild to build our WiX solutions.
What we did to solve these issues:
a) Reg key to the x86 path of the Wix Toolset SDK in Progam Files (x86).
Should be a reg file containing something like (depending on your install
paths + WiX Version):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\WiX
3.6]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WiX Toolset v3.6\\SDK\\"

AFAIR this is only needed to build DTF CAs.

b) Force the WiX Build to run as x86 process

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-27 Thread Rob Mensching
There's an issue open requesting WiX to write the AssemblySearchPaths in
64-bit hive. That isn't done today.

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-27 Thread Edwin Castro
MSBuild uses the AssemblySearchPaths property to determine the locations
where it searches for assembly references. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb629394.aspx

You could either set the HintPath for the reference OR you could add the
location of Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll to
AssemblySearchPaths with something like this:


  
C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin;
$(AssemblySearchPaths)
  


Note that you could possibly shadow other assemblies you depend on if
they exist in WiX's bin directory (or whatever appropriate directory you
use).

My guess as to why 32-bit MSBuild (on the command line, not through
Visual Studio) is that AssemblySearchPaths must be getting set with
32-bit only path. Perhaps something like C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset
v3.6\bin which would only resolve for 32-bit processes... You can use
the /verbose:diagnostic command line option to show you property values
and a lot of other stuff you never cared about too!

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-27 Thread John Cooper
That doesn't look right.  Bearing in mind that we're still using WiX 3.6 RTM, 
my HintPath looks like:

<Reference Include="Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller, Version=3.0.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ce35f76fcda82bad, 
processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\..\..\..\..\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset 
v3.6\bin\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

I don't think you're going to resolve an assembly without a hint path unless 
it's in the GAC.

Building correctly on VS 2010 or 2012 doesn't tell you much as both of the 
those cache references.

Where is the Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller assembly on your build 
server, and what does the HintPath look like on the failing custom action 
project?

These are C# compile errors. It appears you might be missing a reference to a 
DTF assembly. Or perhaps the assembly reference you already has an incorrect 
HintPath and can't be found...?

These are C# compile errors. It appears you might be missing a reference
to a DTF assembly. Or perhaps the assembly reference you already has an
incorrect HintPath and can't be found...?

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

You have broken references in your custom action project to 
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll.  It should be in "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\".

MSBuild 4.0 x64 uses the 32-bit path for both $(MSBuildExtensionsPath32) and 
$(MSBuildExtensionsPath), so it should be picking up the right file.
What are the specific errors you are getting?

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-27 Thread John Cooper
How far back do you wixproj files go?  Modern ones should have something like:

<WixTargetsPath Condition=" '$(WixTargetsPath)' == '' AND 
'$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)' != '' 
">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath>
<WixTargetsPath Condition=" '$(WixTargetsPath)' == '' 
">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath>

Older files don't have both lines causing things to fail on x64 systems.
