You're right-a relative path will work if you hand edit the wixproj, but
the UI will still show the absolute path. Thanks for the help.

reference to a wixlib
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
