I have a WiX installer that installs several things, but among them a VS Package. That package has a pane that gets added to the project properties page for C# and VB projects. For previous versions of Visual Studio, the pane would appear after installation. However for VS2012, it appears that "devenv /setup" must be executed after installation. If I execute that manually from a command prompt then our pane does indeed show up. Now with WiX 3.6, it seems that I should be able to have that happen as part of the installer executing.
I read http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wixvsextension.htm and it seems that all I need is to include the element: <CustomActionRef Id="VS2012Setup" /> I put that element in a separate <Fragment> element at the top-level of my wxs file. I do have "-ext WiXVSExtension.dll" on the command line for both candle and light. However it does not appear that it gets executed. I tried using the log option when I run my installer, but I don't see anything in the log relating to running "devenv /setup". My installer installs for in each of the Visual Studio versions that are on the machine, e.g., both VS2010 and VS2012. Any advice would be great! I'm a WiX newbie.
