Summary: Wix.targets - Compiling multiple .wxs files into a .wixlib
Initial Comment:
1) Do not seem to be able to compile multiple WiX files (.wxs) into a single
package (.msi) with the wix.targets file from WiX 2.0.4820 or 4908. You see a
candle error:
candle.exe : error CNDL0001: cannot specify more than one source file with
single output file. Either specify an output directory for the -out argument
by ending the argument with a '\' or remove the -out argument to have the
source files compiled to the current directory.
2) Unable to build WiX libraries (.wixlib) with wix.targets version 2.0.4820.
The .wixlib is not generated.
To fix 1):
Modify the wix.targets (2.0.4820) file as shown below. The xml below was taken
from the wix.targets in WiX 3.0.
From:
<CompileObjOutput Condition=" '$(CompileObjOutput)' == '' And
'$(NoObjOutputDefault)' != 'true'
">$(IntermediateOutputPath)$(OutputName)$(IntermediateExt)</CompileObjOutput><!--
Example, obj\Debug\MySetup.wixobj -->
To:
<CompileObjOutput Condition="$(CompileObjOutput) ==
''">@(Compile->'$(IntermediateOutputPath)%(Filename)$(IntermediateExt)')</CompileObjOutput>
<!-- Example, obj\Debug\MySetup.wixobj -->
The NoObjOutputDefault check should probably be included in the condition above.
From:
<Target
Name="Compile"
Inputs="@(Compile);$(MSBuildAllProjects)"
Outputs="$(CompileObjOutput)"
DependsOnTargets="$(CompileDependsOn)">
To:
<Target
Name="Compile"
Inputs="@(Compile);$(MSBuildAllProjects)"
Outputs="$(IntermediateOutputPath)%(Compile.Filename)$(IntermediateExt)"
DependsOnTargets="$(CompileDependsOn)"
Condition="@(Compile) != ''">
To fix 2):
Modify the wix.targets file as shown below (again the xml was taken from the
wix.targets in WiX 3).
From:
<BuildDependsOn>PrepareForBuild;Compile;Link</BuildDependsOn>
To:
<BuildDependsOn>PrepareForBuild;Compile;Link;Lib</BuildDependsOn>
