I have a WiX project with a reference to a .sqlproj. When I build the solution the WiX project builds as expected but when I build it on the command line I get error CNDL0150: Undefined preprocessor variable similar to above. Similarly, when I checked the output for Visual Studio and compared it to the output from MSBuild I noticed that the project preprocessor variables are not getting defined in MSBuild. I see in wix2010.targets that the CreateProjectReferenceDefineConstants task is responsible for setting the ProjectReferenceDefineConstants property. I can also see that the CreateProjectReferenceDefineConstants task uses @(_ResolvedProjectReferencePaths) as ProjectReferencePaths. My guess is that the wix2010.targets is failing to resolve my project dependency on the command line but it succeeds in Visual Studio. I can't figure out why the difference occurs. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you resolve it? -- Edwin G.
