Background -------------- A while ago I raised an issue to do with a warning being generated when using a variable for the Component Win64 attribute value. Below you'll see the an excerpt of the logic I'm using so that in the case of all managed code deliverables I can create one set of wix sources that can produce x64 and x86 specific build output by just switching the wixproj platform setting. The issue I'm running into that was happening before is using a variable for Component Win64 attribute value generates a generic warning not uniquely suppressible in wixproj | build | suppress specific warnings field.
Question ----------- Any insights on how I might still use a $(var.Platform) derived value for the Win64 attribute and also suppress the generic warning generated by every instance where I do this so that my project build doesn't break building when the treat warnings as errors quality assurance project setting is in place. Warning ----------- The 'Win64' attribute is invalid - The value '$(var.Win64)' is invalid according to its datatype 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi:YesNoType' - The '$' character, hexadecimal value 0x24, cannot be included in a name. Sources ---------- <?if $(var.Platform) = "x64" ?> <?define Win64 = "yes" ?> <?define SystemFolder = "System64Folder" ?> <?define SystemFolderX86 = "SystemFolder" ?> <?define SoftwareKey = "Software" ?> <?define SoftwareKeyX86 = "Software\Wow6432Node" ?> <?define ProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder" ?> <?define ProgramFilesFolderX86 = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?> <?else?> <?define Win64 = "no" ?> <?define SystemFolder = "SystemFolder" ?> <?define SystemFolderX86 = "SystemFolder" ?> <?define SoftwareKey = "Software" ?> <?define SoftwareKeyX86 = "Software" ?> <?define ProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?> <?define ProgramFilesFolderX86 = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?> <?endif?> <Component Id="SomeComponent1" Guid="PUT-GUID-HERE" Win64="$(var.Win64)"> . . . </Component> <Component Id="SomeComponent2" Guid="PUT-GUID-HERE" Win64="$(var.Win64)"> . . . </Component> /eom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
