That sounds like a known issue when opening an older .wixproj with a newer build of WiX. See my blog for an explanation and steps to resolve the issue: http://blogs.msdn.com/jasongin/archive/2008/07/09/votive-project-platform-configurations.aspx
The schema errors reported by VS are a red herring. The MSBuild schema is open so that many kinds of new elements can be defined, which VS then doesn't know about. -Jason- -----Original Message----- From: Chris Bardon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 5:37 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] wix.targets problem in latest weekly build I just tried upgrading to build 3.0.4624.0 from 3.0.4014.0, and I noticed that my setup projects won't build anymore. VS 2005 compains about the wix.targets file. The compiler reports back that 'The target "link" does not exist in the project in the error list, but there don't appear to be any details in the output view. If I try to view the project property pages in VS, I also get an error on the Build and Tool Settings pages (Value does not fall within the expected range). If I load wix.targets (in program files\MSBuild\Microsoft\Wix\3.0) I can see a couple of schema errors in sections like this, where it says that CoreBuildDependsOn is an invalid child of PropertyGroup. Has anyone else had this problem with this WiX build? This is using VS 2005 Pro sp1. The last build I had worked fine with these project files-has something changed in the wix.targets file? <PropertyGroup> <CoreBuildDependsOn> BuildOnlySettings; PrepareForBuild; PreBuildEvent; ResolveReferences; AddCompilerDefineConstants; CompileAndLink; GetTargetPath; IncrementalClean; PostBuildEvent </CoreBuildDependsOn> </PropertyGroup> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
