Is there a way of specifying the -b switch when building from Visual Studio? Assuming you mean using Votive, it doesn't appear to be exposed through the project property pages. But you can edit the .wixproj file outside VS and add a LinkerBaseInputPaths property to be a

But you can use the 'references' feature in votive to make the process easier. For example, if you have a solution that contains two source projects - MySource1 and MySource2, plus the WiX Installer project you can add project references in the WiX project to MySource1 and MySource2. You can

I don't think there's a switch in there currently to do relative paths. Typically that's when I switch to search replace. Heat's not meant to do all your work for you, just give a solid base and decrease the amount of initial setup time. As to documentation on the -gg switch, I found out about

Not sure about the Votive information, but if you pass -gg to heat as an option it will generate guids for you instead of inserting the PUT-GUID-HERE message. On 6/8/07, Christopher Painter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been playing with Votive and I really like the way it plugs into VS and
