Jason, it sounds like there is some really strange behavior in build to build upgrades of the project. I think when people start clean it works fine but if they have an old VS project (2005 or 2008) then moving to a new project doesn't work. Is that possible? Do we need to teach WixCop to upgrade Votive projects? <smile/>

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Votive V2008 problem on installing 3.0.4220.0 I closed VS 2008 before installing new WiX version. The problem appeared as I restarted VS, loaded solution containing the existing WiX project (among other Custom Action C++ DLL projects) and then clicked on project's Properties context menu. I recreated the project from scratch and the problem is gone. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Ginchereau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 11:02 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Votive V2008 problem on installing 3.0.4220.0 I haven't been able to reproduce the problem with source control, though several people have reported it. It's tracked as sourceforge bug 1977311. Any further details you can provide will be helpful. Do you notice the problem after just installing WiX, or do you need to open a WiX project for it to appear? If it's the latter, does it happen for new projects or only projects created with a previous build of WiX? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Reil Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 4:22 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Votive V2008 problem on installing 3.0.4220.0 I also had the problem, that SourceControl in VS2008 is not working anymore for the votive project and what's really annoying is that the automatic checkout of files on edit in other projects (e.g. a C# project) is blocked by votive.
