Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to add pre and post build steps to the wixproj
project. According to
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02422.html it
seems to be possible already but I did not find out how to make it work. I
have the following wixproj file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<VisualStudioProject>
<WindowsInstallerXML
ProductVersion="2.0.5325.0"
ProjectGuid="{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}"
SchemaVersion="1.0"
>
<BuildSettings
OutputName="MyProject"
OutputType="MSI"
/>
<Configurations>
<Configuration
Name="Release"
RelativeOutputDirectory="bin\Release"
RelativeIntermediateDirectory="obj\Release"
/>
</Configurations>
<WixlibReferences />
<Files>
<File
RelativePath="Installer.wxs"
/>
<File
RelativePath="Installer_en-us.wxl"
/>
<File
RelativePath="InstallerUI.wxs"
/>
<File
RelativePath="WixUI_en-us.wxl"
/>
</Files>
</WindowsInstallerXML>
</VisualStudioProject>
Now my guess was that I simply have to add a PropertyGroup inside the
WindowsInstallerXML tags:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<VisualStudioProject>
<WindowsInstallerXML
ProductVersion="2.0.5325.0"
ProjectGuid="{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}"
SchemaVersion="1.0"
>
<BuildSettings
OutputName="MyProject"
OutputType="MSI"
/>
<Configurations>
<Configuration
Name="Release"
RelativeOutputDirectory="bin\Release"
RelativeIntermediateDirectory="obj\Release"
/>
</Configurations>
<WixlibReferences />
<Files>
<File
RelativePath="Installer.wxs"
/>
<File
RelativePath="Installer_en-us.wxl"
/>
<File
RelativePath="InstallerUI.wxs"
/>
<File
RelativePath="WixUI_en-us.wxl"
/>
</Files>
<PropertyGroup>
<PreBuildEvent>"test.pl"</PreBuildEvent>
<PostBuildEvent></PostBuildEvent>
<RunPostBuildEvent>Always</RunPostBuildEvent>
</PropertyGroup>
</WindowsInstallerXML>
</VisualStudioProject>
But that does not work at all. The output does not show anything, no calls
no errors, nothing. Do I misunderstand something here?
Thanks!
