The PropertyGroup code is as follows: <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x86' "> <OutputPath>bin\$(Configuration)\</OutputPath> <IntermediateOutputPath>obj\$(Configuration)\</IntermediateOutputPath> <DefineConstants>WiXProductName=BeamGage Professional;WiXProductVersion=$(WiXVersion);</DefineConstants> </PropertyGroup>
I changed <IntermediateOutputPath> to "obj\IntermediateOutputPath". The command line in the build log now specifies "-out obj\IntermediateOutputPath\module.wixobj". That proves that the PropertyGroup containing DefineConstants is being executed. I should be seeing "-dWixProductName=" and "-dWixProductVersion=" on the command line. Any idea why the DefineConstants is not being passed to candle? -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Jensen [mailto:kurt.jen...@ophir-spiricon.com] Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 3:05 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] msbuild command line parameters I'm trying to build my wixproj in msbuild. The solution ConfigurationToBuild is "Release|Any CPU". Inside of my configuration the wixproj is built as "Release|x86". In my wixproj I have a 'Release|x86' PropertyGroup that includes <DefineConstants>. But none of the DefineConstants are being included on the command line to candle during the build. The PropertyGroup and DefineConstants work fine in the IDE. In the build log I verified that the command line contains -dConfiguration=Release and -dPlatform=x86. Any idea how to get the wixproj DefineConstants passed to candle in msbuild?
