We are currently running into a build issue due to long command lines (greater than 8192 chars) generated for light.exe and candle.exe from the shipped WiX targets and WixTasks.dll. We are using the MSBuild targets and WixTasks.dll that shipped with WiX 3.5.2519.0 to build our MSI's, and we have a number of wxs files per MSI. The command that gets generated and run by the task dll sometimes exceeds 8192 characters (due to multiple wixobj) and results in light.exe or candle.exe hanging. Light and Candle support response files which should get around this issue, but it appears that the task dll does not have any functionality for generating a command using response files and instead puts everything on the command line.
I can write my own targets/tasks but if another method already exists I would prefer to leverage that. Can somebody let me know if there is already another way to do this using the WixTasks.dll? Thanks in advance for any help. Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?
