Hi...
I've inherited a build system that does its msi packaging with wix
2.0. Since I inherited the build system, I've also inherited the
complaints about it. While investigating one of them I ran into
something that struck me as odd, and I was hoping someone here might
comment on it.
The final Product.wxs file pulls together all of the component
projects and bundles them into one msi. There are a lot of
<Merge Id="Module1" ... />
<Merge Id="Module2" ... />
...
in the config.
One of the modules projects has a
<Dependency RequiredId="Module27" RequiredLanguage="1033" />
line in it.
The peculiar thing (to me) is that Product.wxs doesn't merge in
Module27 yet there are no warnings or errors about missing dependencies,
either in the Wix solution build nor in the resulting msi. The msi
produced puts all the pieces it has in place; it's just missing one so
the result doesn't work.
Do <Dependency> lines have a function other than a loose kind of
note-taking?
Thanks
Mark
