Downloaded and installing as we speak. :-) Thanks Jason! Jason Ginchereau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The templates are updated in today's build 3.0.4130.
Thanks for the feedback John and others. In addition to fixing the VS2005 compatibility issues, I fixed the reference assembly inclusion and improved the build and clean behavior. The MakeSfxCA step now runs after the Compile step but before the PostBuildEvent. One note... if you created a project with the 3.0.4123 templates and want to keep using that project with the newer wix.ca.targets, you should remove this line from the bottom of your project file: From: John Lalande [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 12:54 PM To: Jason Ginchereau Cc: Christopher Painter; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] wix 3.0.4123 custom action templates I couldn't wait to try the project templates so I installed VS2008. I am very happy with these but I do have a couple of improvements to request. If these should be logged elsewhere, let me know. First, it would be nice if I could specify a post-build step *after* the MakeSfxCA step. In that way my post-build step can copy the CA target to another location. Second, Clean should clean up the *.CA.dll as well. Both of these can be accomplished by hand editing the csproj file (or manually doing the operations), but of course if you can do it within the project template, that would save a bit of effort. These tools are awesome! Thanks! On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 1:25 PM, John Lalande > wrote: No love here either.

They need to be version 2.0.0. Can you try this... In notepad, VS, or any text editor, open each of the .vstemplate files in the "Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplatesCache\WiX\CustomAction*.zip\" directories, and change line 2 from to Note since you're only changing the cache, those template files will get overwritten next time 'devenv /setup' gets run. For a more permanent solution, you can update those files in the zip files under Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\WiX. (Or wait for the next build where I'll fix this bug!) Sorry... I mostly test with VS2008 here, so this slipped through. Other than the version attribute, the template data is the same between VS2005 and VS2008.

Attached is the install log and a screenshot of the dialog I am looking for the custom action template. Am I looking in the right place? I am sure it is something I am doing wrong, but if it is an issue with the deployment, is it possible to add the templates manually? Thanks so much for looking at this.
