[WiX-users] WiX3.0 - Incorporating release path into File Source attribute using Visual Studio 2005
Howdy. I am using a WiX project to build a MSI for a project I am working on in VS2005. The WiX project is part of the whole solution. I am trying to figure out how to make my WiX source file smart enough to figure out which biuld configuration I am using (release or debug) and gather the binaries up from that path. In the element, there is a Source attribute. How do I make the path in this source attribute aware of which configuration I am building? Thanks! -Ed Abshire - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX3.0 - Incorporating release path into File Source attribute using Visual Studio 2005
So out of curiosity, where did you set that in your build process? I have two scenarios: 1) Desktop builds using the Visual Studio IDE 2) Team Foundation Server using MSBuild For scenario one, I was thinking in the compiler properties of the WiX Project, where it allows you to set a name=property In the TFS build, I'm not so sure. Thanks for the help, I've never been real strong on understanding the mechanics behind where/when properties on builds are set, kinda new to this. -Ed From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cullen WatersSent: Monday, September 25, 2006 12:48 PMTo: Ed Abshire; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.netSubject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX3.0 - Incorporating release path into File Source attribute using Visual Studio 2005 The way we do it is using environment variables. Our build process sets an environment variable for build type(called BuildType), then we reference that in wix using $(env.BuildType) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed AbshireSent: Monday, September 25, 2006 12:10 PMTo: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.netSubject: [WiX-users] WiX3.0 - Incorporating release path into File Source attribute using Visual Studio 2005 Howdy.

[WiX-users] Shared Files in diifferent locations?
I have a question concerning how I can get a set of shared files into 2 different locations. I have 2 features (a service and a setup application) that have 8 files in common (and will always be common files). All 8 files need to be in the same directories as their respective features...so it would look something like C:\root\feature1\binaries\ Feature1 specific files & 8 common files C:\root\feature2\binaries\ Feature2 specific files & 8 common files Is there a way to only declare the 8 files once and still have them goto the feature specific directory? ________ Ed Abshire | Development Integration Engineer Authorize.Net(r) | Your Gateway to IP Transactions(tm) 10800 NE 8th St | Suite 600 | Bellevue, WA 98004 Tel 425.586.6085 | Fax 425.586.6005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.authorize.net <http://www.authorize.net/> The preceding email message and any attachment to the email message contains information that is confidential, may be legally privileged, and may constitute non-public information.
