[WiX-users] Reference Paths do not update Reference Hintpath - ID: 2767279

Hi Guys, I was wondering how do I re-open a bug in source forge tracker as it has reached 21 days of inactivity. I only just tested it as I was unsure what release the fix would be in and can confirm that it has not been fixed. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=2767279&

[WiX-users] The "ResolveNonMSBuildProjectOutput" task was not found

Hi All, Just today all of my wix projects started failing to build. I am not aware of any new installation which could have affected this. I have re-installed VS AND WiX, and still the problem remains. C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.0\Wix.targets(789,5): error MSB4036: The "ResolveNonM

[WiX-users] Using INSTALLDIR in MSM That Eventually Reflects the MSIs INSTALLDIR

I used to have some MSMs created by Wise that had an entry in the directory tree of INSTALLDIR. This entry didn't have modularization (i.e. no GUID appended) and as such when I merged this MSM into an MSI, whatever value of the MSI's INSTALLDIR was, I was able to use this propery in my MSM's sourc

Re: [WiX-users] Checking registered dlls

This isn't a common problem because everyone just lets the file versioning rules take care of everything. If you have version 1.45 then you won't replace 1.49, and if you have 1.55 you will replace it - that's the built-in versioning rule of Windows. Do you have other versions of these files

Re: [WiX-users] KEY_READ permission for registry value

The PermissionEx element map directly to the ACLs that you can set on a registry key. Check MSDN to see the right combination for "read" of a registry key (it's probably not just "Read" but also includes "Enumerate Subkeys" or something). Michael Bednarek wrote: > Hi all, > > I am using the WiX

If you want to build the project, manually go in and set the ToolsVersion attribute to 3.5 of the Project tag in the votive project (.wixproj) file. This task is in MSBuild 3.5, not 2.0. I had the same problem. I tried to send the same message earlier, but Cox munched my email. I hope this
