They are all in "messages.xml" but we haven't done the work to translate them into the WiX.chm file. Honestly, we try to make the errors self explanatory so you don't have to go look somewhere else... that's why many error messages are three lines long. <smile/>

I cut-and-paste the CANDLE and LIGHT command lines reported by VS2005 into a CMD window ... here's the output from the LIGHT command-line invocation: ---snip--- Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Linker version 3.0.4318.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\IPDS\Dev\DI3_Installer\Product.wxs(37) : error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol 'Component:IPDSRuntimeComponent' in section 'Product:{2EF48795-21DF-4790-8E47-A87EA68E43A6}'.

At least I can fonally get some more insight into my problems ... thanks! I take it then that there is (currently) no documented list of all error codes/messages that the WiX toolset might generate ? Thanks for the help. -----Original Message----- Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2008 15:08:57 -0800 From: Rob Mensching <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] List of WIX Error Codes (or Votive with VS2005) To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] icrosoft.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Very strange. Can you try running light from the command-line directly and see if the error message comes out? If so, then this would be a bug in Votive. There might already be a bug open on VS2005 and this... VS2005 itself apparently has a couple issues around this sort of thing IIRC. -----Original Message----- From: David KILLICK [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 14:23 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] List of WIX Error Codes (or Votive with VS2005) I'm just starting to use WiX, and have installed the v3 Beta (3.0.4318.0, including ProjectAggregator2) and using VS 2005. I am getting some error messages when building the WiX project like this (yes all on one line): C:\IPDS\Dev\DI3_Installer\Product.wxs(37,0)Error LGHT0094: C:\IPDS\Dev\DI3_Installer\Product.wxs(38,0)Error LGHT0094: Done building project "IPDS_Installer.wixproj" -- FAILED. I don't want to know what specifically is wrong ... I just want to know where I can find out what the error codes mean ... i.e. where does the list of error codes and their explanations reside ? I can't find anything in wix.chm or on the web site. I've seen other posts/blogs where explanatory messages follow the error codes ... is there something wrong with my installation of Votive that it can't find any error-look-up information to report (hence mashing everything onto one line of output ? I didn't find a stand-alone zip of Votive (it seems to be integrated/embedded in Wix-3.0.4318.0.msi ... Votive seems to be working nicely for me (e.g. no difficulties with project/file generation from WiX templates, Intellisense completion, etc.).
