I'll take some time to enter something into tracker this weekend, i want to
make sure i understand it well enough.
for now what would be the best way to break out some of the common
functionality that needs to share preprocessor variables. i am creating about a
dozen msi's and have quite a bit of duplication i would like to remove. i am
thinking about switching to include files for the time being but would like to
find a better way than that.
I thought I had read somewhere that votive projects now supported adding linked
items but it doens't seem to?
TIA fo any thoughts,
steve

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
