Category: light Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: lewis (lewis_rfl) Assigned to: pmarcu (pmarcu) Summary: WIX builds leave detritus in TEMP Initial Comment: After running a WIX project compilation (using Visual Studio 2005, and WIX daily-build 3.0.3530.0), I find junk in the temp directory which accumulates day after day (amounting to gigabytes per day of lost disk space). Among the files left behind are: WSCB90.tmp (zero sized files - so not a huge deal) and a folder named - for example: j85u1pd4\ MsiFileHash.idt ... Verb.idt ... cab_0_WixUIExtension.cab ... These folders are pretty big (about the size of the installer itself) - and are never deleted; they just accumulate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: lewis (lewis_rfl) Date: 2008-01-31 13:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1955906 Originator: YES I'm not using wix directly from the commandline, but from the IDE (Visual Studio.Net 2005). Though I have the option in the IDE UNCHECKED (saying to leave temporary files around), I get the command output: C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\Light.exe -cultures:en-US -ext "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\WixUIExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\WixUtilExtension.dll" -out "FULLPATH\foo.msi" -pdbout "FULLPATH\foo.wixpdb" obj\Foo.wixobj and get get the junk I referred to left in the temp directory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Arnson (barnson) Date: 2008-01-31 06:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=26581 Originator: NO That's controlled by the LeaveTemporaryFiles (aka -notidy) switch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1847299&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
