Hello all (I posted this to the wrong list on friday(wix-users-request))
Rob pointed out to me that there was a way to use heattasks:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/710687/best-way-to-create-a-wix-fragment-file-based-on-user-defined-directories-to-be-us,but
I have not been able to get heattask or heatdirectory to work after trying
different methods.
I found a much earlier post on the mailing-list here stating that you can
use this a command like this in the wixproj file below to get HeatDirectory
to work:
<WixToolPath>..\..\DLL\Wix\</WixToolPath>
<WixTasksPath>$(WixToolPath)\wixtasks.dll</WixTasksPath>
<WixTargetsPath>$(WixToolPath)\Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<HeatDirectory Directory="..\..\DLL\Wix\" OutputFile="test.wxs"
GenerateGuidsNow="true" SuppressFragments="true" Template="module"
ToolPath="$(WixToolPath)" />
</Target>
The build succeeds, but I am not seeing any file output and no mention of
heat running in the output in vs. I also tried msbuild same results...
1. Can someone give me proper syntax for this to run from a Visual studio
wix project for the HeatDirectory and a HeatTask commands?
I could not find any documentation on this, perhaps this would help out as
well. I will update my post to stackoverflow when I get this all worked out,
to share the infor.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I can provide my full .wixproj if it is needed
Thanks in advance
Brian
