Hi. I use VS2005/MSBuild to build the MSI file. I experience that the build step only depends on the wxs files and wixlib files. However the resulting MSI file needs to be rebuilt whenever one of the refered files have changed.
A line like <File Id="filea.exe" Name="filea.exe" Source="$(var.src)\filea.exe"/> means that if filea.exe has changed then the MSI must be rebuilt. How do I achieve this? in C++ projects, there is a setting like "Additional dependencies", but that is not the case for MSBuild projects. However, it would be even better if the WixTasks.dll could take care of all this, so you would need to manual maintain a list of files seperate from the one already found in the .wxs file. I am not expert in building MSBuild tasks, but is it possible to have the WixTasks.dll take care of that? Jarl -- Jarl Friis Softace ApS Omøgade 8, 2.sal 2100 København Ø.
