I would like to use project reference for a custom action library within
a WiX project, but the C++ project reference is marked with an
exclamation mark and $(var.<C++ Project>.TargetFileName) won't resolve.
Visual Basic and C# Projects work fine.

This behavior occurs with both development environments I use:

 

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005  Team Edition for Software Developers with
Votive 3.0.4014.0

Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition with Votive
3.0.4130.0

 

I start with a blank solution, add a WiX project for the installer, then
add a C++ Win32 project for the custom actions. Adding the C++ project
through References to the WiX project results in the reference showing
up with yellow exclamation mark sign (same behavior with the new WiX C++
Custom Action Project template).

 

Anyone else encountered this, or can point me in the right direction how
to make C++ project references work? Any help appreciated.

 

Regards,

Michael
