In my simplistic test extension, I do not have a compiler, decompiler, or
even source code for that matter.
I will now include my extension in it's entirety:
--------------------------------------------------
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml;
namespace SampleWixExtension
{
public class SampleWixExtension : WixExtension
{
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
Additionally, in the AssemblyInfo.cs file, I added the following to the
bottom:
--------------------------------------------------
[assembly:
AssemblyDefaultWixExtension(typeof(SampleWixExtension.SampleWixExtension))]
--------------------------------------------------
That's it. that's the whole thing. Seriously. At this point, I just
want it to load. This is a standalone extension. This should be what you
get from following the directions in the blog entry I linked in the OP.
