Relative references should work if you hand-edit the .wixproj file (let me
know if they don't). We fixed a bug recently where the UI portion of it
would write out the absolute path, but I don't know if it's in the latest
build or not.

Subject: [WiX-users] Votive 3.0.3530.0-can't add a relative reference to a
wixlib
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
