Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: light Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Reid (rsiglin) >Assigned to: Rob Mensching (robmen) Summary: Passed Paths and Include Files Initial Comment: If you pass in a path to your source files with a "\" on the end (ex. -dBuildDir="C:\SourceFiles\", light will fail with a light0001 error: Illegal argument in path. However, if you remove this "\" and put it after the $(var.BuildDir)\, it will resolve itself. I'm not sure if this is done this way for a reason, but this is an annoying bug to resolve if you haven't seen it before. Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Rob Mensching (robmen) Date: 2008-02-23 09:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=991639 Originator: NO That is the behavior of the Windows cmd.exe shell. The cmd shell is interpreting \" as an escaped ". If you want to put the path in quotes and have it end with a backslash you need to do "C:\SourceFiles\\". Annoying? Yes, but that's the behavior of the cmd shell. WiX doesn't even get a chance to see it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1899823&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
