Actually, pubca.wixlib isn't really a config file. It is comparable to a .lib file for C/C++, and the pcashed.dll and pcaexec.dll are only companion files of pubca.wixlib. Fredrik -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jdrake Sent: Friday, Jun

Correct, the dll files are relative to the wixlib in 2.0. In WiX 3.0, there is a single binary for extensions so this problem no longer occurs. It's a pain in 2.0 :) Derek -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jdrake Sent: Friday, June 23, 200

This may be a poor assumption on my part... but I assumed that the dlls needed to be relative to the light executable. Instead it appears that they need to be relative to the pubca.wixlib file. My base assumption is that config files point to things, and it is a safe assumption that they are rel

So not only is Votive-2.0.4103.0.msi missing the pcaext.dll; the command line to candle is case sensitive, which strikes me as odd, since Windows is not. Any word on when the extension will be integrated with Votive? Thanks, Joshua -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RE%3A-CO
