IMPORTANT! Read this if you have existing WiX projects that you want to use with a newer build of Votive.
Some breaking changes were introduced around build 3.0.4220 that will require you to update .wixproj files in order to avoid problems with Votive in VS 2005 or VS 2008 going forward. Symptoms: - When accessing project properties you may receive the error message: An error occurred trying to load the page. Value does not fall within the expected range. - Source control functionality (check-out menu item or auto check-out on edit) may stop working with any projects or project items in the solution. How to fix your project files: 1. Install the new build of WiX. 2. In VS, open the solution that includes one or more WiX projects. 3. For each WiX project node in the solution explorer, right-click and Unload Project, then right-click again and Edit the .wixproj. 4. Change the conditional expression on each configuration PropertyGroup to include an "x86" platform: <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86' "> ... <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x86' "> 1. Right-click on the project node and Reload the project. 2. From the Build menu, open the Configuration Manager tool. Ensure that each WiX project is selected to build (if desired) for each solution configuration.

I previously sent this link as a reply to another message, but I'm sending it again now because I want to try to ensure everyone who is affected will see it. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it could not reasonably be avoided in this case. As Votive is stabilizing now along with WiX v3, we don't expect any more disruptive changes to be necessary. -Jason- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
