For each of these below scenarios, if you
could make small wxs files to reproduce each problem, that would greatly speed
up investigation because then we could just run the repro in the debugger to
figure out what’s going on. A lot of this stuff sounds like bugs,
but I’d have to see the scenario in the code to be sure. Derek From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wilson, Brad wix version 3.0.1828.0 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? Brad Wilson | Developer |
