Adding a reference from the WiX project to the CA project allows you to use var.ReferencedProjectName.* preprocessor variables. See the example XML snippet at the bottom of my blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/jasongin/archive/2008/05/23/custom-action-project-templates.aspx
Previously, Justin documented all the variables you get from a project reference in WiX.chm, and copied that here: http://blogs.msdn.com/jrock/archive/2008/01/29/complete-list-of-candle-preprocessor-variables.aspx -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Painter Sent: Friday, May 30, 2008 1:59 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Votive Question Thanks. BTW, do you have a simple way of accomplishing doing something like a ProjectReference? I'm trying to wire up the CA.DLL into the Binary SourceFile and have it work regardless of solution configuration and without doing some kind of postbuild xcopy step if possible.

Now I'm trying to play with WiX a bit and test my CA's via a Votive WiX project inside the same solution. When I right click the WiX Project ( .MSI ) I don't get an option to set it as the default project or Install/Uninstall it. With InstallShield I get those choices. Am I doing something wrong or does that feature not exist in Votive?
