I've installed the latest version of WiX (V3.6.3206.0) in VS 2012 and have followed the "Creating a Simple Setup" item under "Working in Visual Studio".
After adding a value for "Manufacturer" (something not mentioned in the help topic) as it causes error CNDL0006, the project builds and produces 2 files, the MSI and a .wixpdb. The build output shows: 1. The test console application builds 2. Candle is run 3. Light is run. There are no errors or warnings shown. However, installing the MSI doesn't install the EXE, or produce an entry in Add/Remove. After having run the MSI, attempting to use the MSI uninstall results in the error message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." which reinforces my assumption that the installation did nothing. Knowing very little about WiX so far, I think the "harvest" facility hasn't worked (the harvest property is set to true) - but never having used WiX before, I don't know what should happen to know any better. Am I missing something, or is something missing in the instructions, or is something broken? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
