Why don't you use the BrowseDlg that comes with wix? -----Original Message----- From: Dale Quigg [mailto:da...@messagegate.com] Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 4:03 PM To: 'wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [WiX-users] DTF - Using Shell32.dll
Hi, I'm using DTF to create a custom action to show an Open Folder dialog in my UI. I'm using the code I found here; http://todayslearnings.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-get-folder-browser-di alog-in-c.html I can build the project in VisualStudio (after adding a reference to Shell32.dll), but when I try to build on the command line I get errors like; build: [exec] Current OS is Windows XP [exec] Executing 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\csc.exe' with arguments: [exec] '/target:library' [exec] '/r:C:\(snip)\WiX\IMPORT\WiXv3/sdk/Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller .dll' [exec] '/out:C:\(snip)\WiX\Custom_Actions\Categorization\Categorization_CA.dll' [exec] 'Categorization_CA.cs' [exec] [exec] The ' characters around the executable and arguments are [exec] not part of the command. [exec] Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2008 Compiler version 3.5.30729.1 [exec] for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework version 3.5 [exec] Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. [exec] Categorization_CA.cs(633,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Shell32' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) I added a reference on my command line, with; /r:C:\Windows\System32\Shell32.dll but this gives a different error; [exec] fatal error CS0009: Metadata file 'c:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll' could not be opened -- 'An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. ' Any tips on what I need to successfully compile?
