Obviously that kind of output is helpful for wix devlopers but very much useless to plain ordinary wix user. The tool should in case of syntax error display help message (what most command line tools do) or simply provide error message which would inform user on the nature of syntax error. Obviously this is rather minor bug but fixing it would bring wix toolset command line interface to "standards" compliance status ;). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Rob Mensching (robmen) Date: 2006-12-12 23:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=991639 Originator: NO There is a new error reporting mechanism in WiX v3 that does a much better job of this. If there are other specific error messages/cases that should be improved please open new bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Derek (derekc) Date: 2006-04-24 08:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=518766 Could you please give some examples of the specific syntax errors which cause these problems? Also, please note that we'd likely only fix issues like this in WiX 3.0 since its mostly a fit-and-finish issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1475380&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
