Hi,
Am using WiX3 in VS2008. v. 3.0.3725.0
I have a really simple project. With a single file entry (the rest of the
file is almost the default example):
<File Id="f1" Name="$(var.DataEngineDebug.TargetFileName)"
Source="$(var.DataEngineDebug.TargetPath)" DiskId="1" />
It gives this error when I try and compile it:
error CNDL0150: Undefined preprocessor variable
'$(var.DataEngineDebug.TargetFileName)'.
To me this means it doesn't have a definition of the 'DataEngineDebug' bit,
but I followed the instructions and added that project through the
References section in the GUI. It shows in the project file:
<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\DataEngineDebug\DataEngineDebug.vcproj">
<Name>DataEngineDebug</Name>
<Project>{XXX-whatever-guid}</Project>
<Private>True</Private>
</ProjectReference>
</ItemGroup>
When the compilation takes place, the output shows:
Target "Compile" in project "MyProjWiXSetup.wixproj"
Building target "Compile" completely.
Output file "obj\Release\MyProjWiXSetup.wixobj" does not exist.
Task "Candle"
Command:
C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\candle.exe
-d"DevEnvDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\\"
-dSolutionDir=C:\_cvs\MyProj\ -dSolutionExt=.sln
-dSolutionFileName=MyProj.sln -dSolutionName=MyProj
-dSolutionPath=C:\_cvs\MyProj\MyProj.sln -out
obj\Release\MyProjWiXSetup.wixobj MyProjWiXSetup.wxs

C:\_cvs\MyProj\MyProjWiXSetup\MyProjWiXSetup.wxs(10,0): error CNDL0150:
Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.DataEngineDebug.TargetFileName)'.
The command exited with code 150.
As I cannot see it passing in during the candle operation mentioning either
the Wix project, or the DataEngineDebug project, I can imagine that it would
fail... but what am I doing wrong? I thought adding the references to other
projects would enable the preprocessor to correctly use the projects - that
is what the help file says.
Thanks,
RW
