Re: [WiX-users] Custom Wix 3.5 PreprocessorExtension and debugmessages

You create a MessageEventArgs and send it to the OnMessage() call. Now, as I've been playing with it myself, MessageEventArgs is kinda' difficult to use because we designed it to work with resources in your assembly (so that messages could be localized). I'm looking at simplifying some of this in

2011-03-19 Thread Rob Mensching
This bug was fixed in v3.6.1518.0. The root issue is that in the last few weeks SF web servers stopped sending the Content-Length in their response to HEAD requests. Burn required it for its resume functionality. Once I finally understood the problem, I fixed the code this week to not require the

Oh! I think I see it now. Foo is not defined so you're ending up with the text string "Error: Unrecognized value for Foo" in the Include. Include doesn't support that. It supports elements being defined. What are you trying to do? On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 12:45 PM, Gregg Swanson wrote: > Still loo

I was in a "Twitter-debate" (yeah, 140 char conversations aren't real high fidelity) where someone was trying to convince me that there should be TFS activities for WiX. I pointed out that the way to build setup with WiX toolset in TFS is to use MSBuild. MSBuild is where you do build stuff and TFS

It's a feature that usually looks like a bug. The feature came about because there were some people creating links to files that had the same file name. During compile one of the .wixobj's would get overwritten. It was a very mysterious issue and took us a long time to figure out. Now, I don't car

Edwin, thank you very much. (And thank you to Travis Illig for the blog article.) For me at least, the provided work-around didn't quite work - I needed to add a backslash to the path. I've updated my query at Stack Overflow, so hopefully others can get the benefit of that blog article.

Hi: I'm currently working with a continuous integration environment and TFS 2010. I was wondering whether anyone has written activities to allow the use of WiX inside tfs natively? I am looking at writing a set of tasks but don't want to duplicate effort. Any information appreciated. Regards Sean.
