Hi all,
new to the list and thought I should start out with a question :)
At work we recently migrated to Wix 3 and visual studio 2008. I need to
build some installers that will install our visual studio packages.
In our previous version we used wix 2 and targeted Visual Studio 2005. At
that moment it was sufficient to place the necessary files in the GAC and
create the registry keys to get the packages working.
Now I have a problem. I'm using the 5419 build of Wix 3 and started out
doing the same. Place files in GAC and create registry keys. The packages
now work (ie when opening a file of the right extension), except they won't
show up in the splash screen. One of the packages should create some
commands and menu buttons, those do not appear.
When I run devenv /setup afterwards it works properly.
Therefore I tried to use the Vs90Setup CustomAction from WixVsExtension
using the following wix fragments:
<CustomActionRef Id="VS90Setup"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SetPrereqs" After="InstallInitialize" />
<Custom Action="VS90Setup"
Before="InstallFinalize">VS90DEVENV</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<UI Id ="SnSDesignersUI">
<UIRef Id="DesignersUserInterface"/>
<ProgressText Action="VS90Setup"
Template="[1]">!(loc.VS_Setup_Description)</ProgressText>
</UI>
This runs the setup, but the result is the same as when I did not run setup
in the installer.
No splash screen display and no commands/menu buttons. The packages do load
fine and will run fine when opening a file of the assigned type.
I still need to run set /devenv afterwards to get the desired result.
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance,
Anton.
