Category: votive Group: v2.0 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: GreenWave (greenwave) Assigned to: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Summary: Votive pre-processor dropping a space in resolved path Initial Comment: To reproduce: * Create a new solution in the Documents and Settings tree (ie: under My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\...) * Create a dummy project * Create a wix project and make it dependent to the dummy project * Use $(var.<DummyProjectName>.ProjectDir) in a <File Source=... />. Result: The ProjectDir resolves to "C:\Documentsand Settings\... (note missing space between 'Documents' and 'and') in the wixobj file. This causes a light exception as it cannot find the specified file. Expected Result: No dropped spaces in resolved path. NOTES: * I have moved my project out of the My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects dir as a result of this. I don't remember if I saw this bug with other variables besides ProjectDir. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Justin Rockwood (justinrockwood) Date: 2006-12-19 19:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1054914 Originator: NO This has been fixed in the Wix v3 preprocessor (it's not a Votive bug). The workaround is to surround the preprocessor variable with quotes and it should work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Derek (derekc) Date: 2006-05-23 18:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=518766 Justin, please note that is a well-known issue with the wix preprocessor that creates behavior just like this. I can't be sure its the issue here because I'm not familiar enough with Votive, but it seems likely that's the cause of the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1493858&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
