So if you have a Visual Studio Solution file, and each project that you want to reference has been added to that VS Solution file, then you add the reference to your project and use the variables as documented here: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/votive/votive_project_references.html
Personally I avoid that approach for several reasons. My main reason is that I want to be able to build my projects on the command line using MSBuild commands, (in addition to building my projects within VS IDE) VS Project References are only resolve when the VS IDE is using the Solution file. There are several other approaches to defining the your source paths. with some infor here: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/general/specifying_source_files.html The approach I use most of the time is: 1) I define an environment variable to root of all of my projects (to harvest MSI, etc.) 2) In the bootstrapper project file (I unload it and edit it directly), I modify the LinkerAdditionalOptions to include: -b $(EnvVariableName to root of all projects)\Project\bin\$(Configuration) In the bootstrapper the MsiPackage/@SourceFile="(local or platform)\Project.msi" (For projects that do not have multiple locales or platforms, just specify the package name.) There are other approaches that make use of binding or preprocessor variables. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/bootstrapperApplicationData-attribute-is-not-declared-tp7595444p7596016.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
