I just installed Wix3.0.4805.0-x64-setup from Sourceforge, and I'm trying to build a very simple installer from Visual Studio 2008.
I've created a WIX project as well as my application project; however, when I add a reference to my application project, the 'references' item has a yellow warning icon , and the installer fails to build: > C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\candle.exe > -d"DevEnvDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio > 9.0\Common7\IDE\\" -d"SolutionDir=C:\Users\erbrown\Documents\Visual Studio > 2008\Projects\My Test Project\\" -dSolutionExt=.sln -d"SolutionFileName=My > Test Project.sln" -d"SolutionName=My Test Project" > -d"SolutionPath=C:\Users\erbrown\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\My > Test Project\My Test Project.sln" -dConfiguration=Release > -dOutDir=bin\Release\ -dPlatform=x86 > -d"ProjectDir=C:\Users\erbrown\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\My Test > Project\Installer\\" -dProjectExt=.wixproj > -dProjectFileName=Installer.wixproj -dProjectName=Installer > -d"ProjectPath=C:\Users\erbrown\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\My Test > Project\Installer\Installer.wixproj" > -d"TargetDir=C:\Users\erbrown\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\My Test > Project\Installer\bin\Release\\" -dTargetExt=.msi > -dTargetFileName=WindowsAccelerators.msi -dTargetName=WindowsAccelerators > -d"TargetPath=C:\Users\erbrown\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\My Test > Project\Installer\bin\Release\WindowsAccelerators.msi" -out > obj\Release\Product.wixobj -arch x86 Product.wxs 1>C:\Users\erbrown\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\My Test Project\Installer\Product.wxs(13,0): error CNDL0150: Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.My Test Project.TargetFileName)'. 1>Done building project "Installer.wixproj" -- FAILED. 1> 1>Build FAILED. So, what am I doing wrong? All the documentation suggests that this should just work. I'm running Visual Studio 2008 Team Developer edition on 64-bit Windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
