I am in the midst of upgrading our product to be VS 2010 compatible. We're using WIX to generate a .msi installer. I've upgraded to WIX 3.5.1309.0 and have run into a snag.
Specifically I'm having a problem with the HEAT tool in this version. It is having trouble working with our VS2010 converted .csproj files. Votive wants to automatically run this command line: C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin\Heat.exe project "..\..\Common\ArtOfTest.Common.Design\ArtOfTest.Common.Design\ArtOfTest.Common.Design.csproj" -pog:Binaries -pog:Symbols -pog:Sources -pog:Content -pog:Satellites -pog:Documents -ag -sfrag -out obj\Release\_ArtOfTest.Common.Design.wxs If I manually run this at the command line and point it to the working VS2008 .csproj file I get the expected output file just fine. But if I point it to the converted VS2010 .csproj file (which does compile and generates a .dll in VS2010 no problem), nothing gets output. There's no error message of any kind either. I tried adding the -verbose switch and that didn't add any output either. Absolutely nothing comes out (no generated output, no error message of any kind, etc.). Nothing is put in the Event Viewer/Application log either. I am stumped as to why I am not getting any output. Is there any more information I can give to help? Here is the contents of one of my converted .csproj files (trimmed slightly to hide most of our source code file names): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project ToolsVersion="4.0"
