Thanks Rob. I'd love to contribute. Where do you need more eyes?
As for the compiler extension, I'm back to where I was. I haven't been able
to get Candle to recognize the embedded wixlib in my compiler extension.
Experimenting with several ideas, I've added the Link element to my build
script,
I've got an update. I've gotten my wixlib to show up in my MSI! The trick,
for me, was to add a Property to the Fragment in the wixlib I was embedding
and then use a PropertyRef to pull it in in my installer project. Pulling
that in pulled in all the other stuff (including custom actions) from
on the Core property of your CompilerExtension's base object. Most of
us use the name of our CustomAction.

Ah, fantastic. That sounds like a much more elegant solution that using a
PropertyRef. Thanks Blair. So, it looks like this method is referencing a
table and row that would be created with the wixlib. Like this from the Util
extension.

Sure. Set a breakpoint in your extension's methods and run
Hello all,
I've gotten pretty far (I think) in creating a compiler extension. So far,
my extension is a .dll that can be included in my WiX MSI project. After
including the extension, I can see my new element in Visual Studio and can
add attributes to it. When I use it, a new custom table is

Thanks Blair and Neil for the help. I looked at the extension you gave a link
to, Neil, but I'm not able to see anything that they have that I don't. I'm
sure there's a piece to the puzzle I'm missing.

your project.
Hope this helps.
