Category: votive Group: v2.0 >Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jared McIntyre (thepoet) Assigned to: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) >Summary: Votive Can\'t Find Candle Initial Comment: With Votive build 2.0.4021.0 on VS 2003, I now recieve the following error: Error: Cannot find candle.exe at "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML \bin\candle.exe". The path is corrct. Typing it in as a command will run candle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Lou Rech (lour) Date: 2006-06-21 17:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=285620 Thanks for the workaround zir. If you're not sure of the directory short name you can also run - subst w: "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML" and then in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\InstalledProducts\WiX set ToolsDirectory to "W:\bin\" Add the subst command to a batch file that runs at startup so you don't have to rememeber to run it at each reboot/login. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: xmcspc (xmcspc) Date: 2006-05-09 12:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1520014 a quick check of the code makes me think that line 260 of WixBuildableProjectConfiguration.cs is passing a quoted path to File.Exists() if the path contains spaces. File.Exists() fails on the quoted path, even though the path is correct. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henrik Skott (zir) Date: 2006-05-08 01:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48727 Seems that if I change the application path in the registry to use short directory names this problem does not occur. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\InstalledProducts\WiX Set ToolsDirectory to "c:\Progra~1\Window~4\bin\" instead of "c:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML\bin\" Don't forget to restart visual studio. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Mad Butcher (mad_burcher) Date: 2006-04-27 07:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=295880 Same here with VS 2005 and with all versions of WiX 3.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1476609&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
