You either link to the pre-existing lib file and simply include the headers, or you include the headers and source and you don't link to the lib.
When you installed WiX, it should of setup the WIX environment variable. Then in your project you should have "$(WIX)sdk\lib;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories);" under the Linker/General/Additional Library Directories. As well, " $(WIX)sdk\inc;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories);" under C/C++/General/Additional Include Directories. And finally " msi.lib;dutil_2010.lib;wcautil_2010.lib;Version.lib;%(AdditionalDependen cies)" under Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Hebert [mailto:ke...@legendary-immersion.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 10:56 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
