When calling light
against install projects there are a few situations that are causing problems
for us when designing our installs. All of these situations cause the
"Duplicate Symbol found' error.
Situation 1
(this is pseudo-code):
Feature1
- ComponentRef1
-
File1
- ComponentRef2
-
File2
Feature2
- ComponentRef2
-
File2
- ComponentRef3
-
File3
<Product ...>
<FeatureRef id="Feature1" ...
>
<FeatureRef id="Feature2" ...
>
</Product>
This is causing a
Duplicate symbol error on File2. It was my assumption that components
could belong to multiple Features if using <ComponentRef>.
Situation
2:
If I were to create
a ComponentGroup and include File2 in it and then use <ComponentGroupRef>
in Feature1 and Feature2, I would also get the 'Duplicate Symbol' error but this
time it would be on the ComponentGroup.
Situation
3:
I'm not sure that
this last situation is a bug. But it's something that I would hope would
work or it might undermine our usage of nested component groups. In our
situation there are a lot of files that belong to many different
applications. Our hope was to be able to nest ComponentGroups to be able
make a modification to one ComponentGroup and have it affect lots of different
installs. Here is the situation:
ComponentGroup1
-
ComponentGroupNest1
-
ComponentGroupNest2
ComponentGroup2
-
ComponentGroupNest2
-
ComponentGroupNest3
<Feature ...>
<ComponentGroupRef
id="ComponentGroup1" />
<ComponentGroupRef
id="ComponentGroup2" />
</Feature>
We were hoping that
light would be smart enough to understand that, since those files are included
from multiple ComponentGroups, to just ignore any multiples of that file for
that feature. Instead, we get the Duplicate symbol error on
ComponentGroupNest2.
I've tried all of
this with the -ai command line option for light.exe but i'm getting a
SystemNullReference exception. To get this to work, is -ai supposed to be
used or should the three situations work w/o a specific command line
option?
