I have a bunch of installer projects that depend on a custom wixlib for
common UI elements.  Everything was working fine until I changed the
project structure on my hard drive, and I noticed that I had to add new
references with new absolute paths to the library file.  This is a
problem if I want to have other developers on my team build setup
projects.  Everything is under source control, so a certain amount of
the path can/will be hard coded, but the reference is added with a full
path name.  In short, I'd like to be able to set a reference path to
..\..\..\lib\MyUI.wixlib instead of d:\projects\6.1\lib\MyUI.wixlib.  I
also tried adding the library project to the same solution as a
dependency of my setup and adding a project reference, but then the
setup project didn't pick up the library.  Anyone have any idea how to
get around this?  

 

One thought I had was to have a pre-build step on the setup that copied
the library to a local dir, but this would mean that I'd have to
reference the library without a path (which appears to be impossible).
I'll see what else I can come up with in the meantime, and post if I
find a solution.  

 

Thanks!

 

Chris
