but not by much. At least it is obvious. Is your build machine 32-bit or 64-bit? Are there any obvious differences between the files that heat processes OK and the ones that it errors on? Are the files .net or native code? -Original Message- From: jwalker [mailto:improvi...@yahoo.com]

Re: [WiX-users] Environmet Variable Propagation

2009-06-26 Thread JWalker
Yeah, removing the app's dependency on the environment variable would be the way to go. Unfortunately, that's not an option in this case. The weird thing is if you go look at the environment variables in the control panel and click OK, it does get propagated to subsequent command prompts. So the
