Actually, IIRC, there have been attempts at making it work but those attempts broke older stuff. VC++ is just different from everything else and is turning out to be very difficult to get done correctly.
So, unfortunately, not supported yet. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan O'Neill Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 01:30 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

I believe that there are plans but it is just low down on the list. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Zemanek Sent: 03 June 2008 09:20 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Votive unable to reference C++ projects? I would like to use project reference for a custom action library within a WiX project, but the C++ project reference is marked with an exclamation mark and $(var.<C++ Project>.TargetFileName) won't resolve. Visual Basic and C# Projects work fine. This behavior occurs with both development environments I use: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers with Votive 3.0.4014.0 Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition with Votive 3.0.4130.0 I start with a blank solution, add a WiX project for the installer, then add a C++ Win32 project for the custom actions. Adding the C++ project through References to the WiX project results in the reference showing up with yellow exclamation mark sign (same behavior with the new WiX C++ Custom Action Project template). Anyone else encountered this, or can point me in the right direction how to make C++ project references work? Any help appreciated.
