I have a problem generating a setup bootstrapper using Visual Studio 2008 and
Wix 3.0.3711. My Wix project file (.wixproj) contains these lines in order to
generate a setup.exe bootstrapper that has .NET framework 2.0 as a prerequisite:
<ItemGroup>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0">
<ProductName>Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
</ItemGroup>
<Target
Name="Bootstrapper"
Inputs="$(OutDir)$(TargetFileName)"
Outputs="$(OutDir)\Setup.exe"
Condition=" '$(OutputType)'=='package' "
>
<GenerateBootstrapper
ApplicationName="My Application"
ApplicationFile="$(TargetFileName)"
BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)"
ComponentsLocation="HomeSite"
Path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper"
OutputPath="$(OutputPath)"
Culture="en-US"
/>
</Target>
The problem is that if I don't specify the Path attribute in the
GenerateBootstrapper element then I get an error saying that the
Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0 package could not be found. This used to work
without the Path in Visual Studio 2005 and Wix 3.0.2925. I guess the problem is
that the Wix 3.0 integration with Visual Studio 2008 does not setup up the
search path to the bootstrapper packages in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper".
Could this be fixed please, so I don't have to specify a Path?
Thanks
Bo
