sigh, Okay here is what I did... wiped the wix source regot the RTM 3.8 source DID NOT TOUCH the source
Rebuilt it as: call "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe" .\tools\OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj /p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0 call "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe" wix.proj /p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0 /p:Configuration=Release Opened one of my Bootstrapper projects, removed the reference to WixBalExtension_Original.dll (the original WixBalExtension.dll that was installed with the Wix38.exe) Copied the newly built WixBalExtensionl.dll (oops did that before I opened the project) tried to add the reference and it fails complaining: "A Reference to C:\Program Files (x86)\WIX Toolset v3.8\bin\\WixBalExtension.dll could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid WIX reference. " okay I tried to create a new Bootstrapper project, then tried to compile it and it complained: Error 1 Could not load file or assembly 'wix, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=36e4ce08b8ecfb17' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. candle.exe 0 1 Bootstrapper3 What am I doing wrong?? thanks, Steve -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Trying-to-reference-the-WixBalExtension-dll-tp7591805p7591830.html Sent from the wix-devs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
