Hi, I am having trouble using the WixToolPath variable in my Visual Studio WiX project.
I have these additional linker options set: -ext WixDifxAppExtension -ext WixUIExtension "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\difxapp_x86.wixlib" However, I would like to avoid the full installation path to WiX like so: -ext WixDifxAppExtension -ext WixUIExtension $(WixToolPath)difxapp_x86.wixlib This gives me the following error: 9>light.exe(0,0): error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file 'difxapp_x86.wixlib' with type 'Source'. From which I conclude that the variable is empty. However, when I set the BeforeBuild target to output a warning containing the variable: <Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <Warning Text="test: $(WixToolPath)" /> </Target> I get the following output: 9>D:\svn\kube\Main\KUBE v15\Install\WIX\KUBE_Setup.wixproj(0,0): warning : test: C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\ Any ideas for getting the variable to work with the additional linker options? - Kim PS: using version 3.0.4805.0 -- *Kim Gybels Software Developer * kim.gyb...@metris.com <mailto:kim.gyb...@metris.com> Tel: +32 16 74 01 01 Fax: +32 16 74 01 02 * Metris Europe * Interleuvenlaan 86 3001 Leuven Belgium www.metris.com <http://www.metris.com/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
