There shouldn't be any other differences when building from the command line
vs. the IDE. It is probably just a bug. Want to file it?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] votive project reference to wixlib
i tried running my solution from msbuild instead of from the ide and get the
following error:
light.exe : error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file
'..\uilib\bin\Debug\uilib.wixlib' with type 'Source'.
the solution builds fine through the ide.
i have <DefineSolutionProperties>false</DefineSolutionProperties>
there are two votive projects in the solution, one msi project that
references the wixlib generated from a ui wixlib project.
are there any other differences besides the solution properites when running
from an msbuild command line that may cause this error?
The file is where it is looking for it, i have tried absolute paths as well.
thanks

There are actually two bugs here (or NYI features, however you'd like to
view it J). The first bug is that Votive (.wixproj) projects actually don't
work with project references right now (meaning that you can't have a
project reference to another wixproj and have it generate the preprocessor
variables). The second bug is that adding a project reference to a wixlib
will not automatically use that generated wixlib in the link step. Adding an
actuall reference to the wixlib will work, as you pointed out. If you'd like
to add bugs for both of these, it would be great. I knew about them, but
haven't logged bugs against them yet, and therefore they've fallen off my
radar.
Thanks,
Justin

Subject: [WiX-users] votive project reference to wixlib
I have a wixlib project in my solution that houses my custom UI. When I add
a project reference to that wixlib project from my msi project it doesn't
resolve. I found that I can add a reference directly to the wixlib file and
it works. I was just wondering if that is the expected way to add references
or if a project reference is supposed to work?
Thanks,
steve
