1. ProjectAggregator2.msi never changes. You only need to install it once (unless stuff gets messed up then reinstalling may be a good idea).
2. I've seen bug reports for VS2005 but there are a lot of comments on them saying they don't repro for everyone. I'm not sure what's going wrong but I don't work on Votive directly. 3. If you want DTF, just grab the DLLs and documentation directly. You can get them out of the binaries.zip or install the whole thing and pull them from the local directory. If you're looking for the templates to integrate in to VS, well, I'm not sure how hard it is to get them in the right place. 4. Finally, please to open bugs on the problems you're seeing with Votive in vS2005. Something is going wrong and not everyone is able to see it... which makes it even harder to nail down and fix. More information and continued dialog is the only way we're going to fix them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of carlldev Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 01:41 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Votive doesn't work with VS 2005 That was not a fair comment, I'm sorry. I understand how the process works (being a developer myself). I guess I was just really frustrated at not being able to use DTF... Are there any release notes I can read through to try and resolve this issue? Do I need to install anything else (apart from ProjectAggregator2.msi)? Does ProjectAggregator2.msi get updated in the weekly builds or is it the same for every version? Do you have a version of DTF that works outside of WiX - so I can install it and work with it as part of WiX 3.0.2925.0?
