Neil Suggestion (but not tested).
Close visual studio, then edit the project file manually. When setting the path use the either the $(SolutionDir) or $(ProjectDir) as the root of the path, so that the project is transportable. Then reopen in Vis studio. Haven't done this with wix project files, but it does work with other items in other project files.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WixFirewallExtension from 3.5 Is there any way to make the HintPath a fully qualified path? Perhaps something along these lines? <ItemGroup> <Ext Include="..\..\path\to\ext.dll"/> <WixExtension Include="Ext"> <HintPath>%(Ext.FullPath)</HintPath> <Name>Ext</Name> </WixExtension> </ItemGroup> -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: Monday, July 19, 2010 1:42 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WixFirewallExtension from 3.5 It was loading the wrong version. The problem seems to be that candle doesn't use relative paths with -ext, so it ends up reading the file from the WiX bin folder. If you specify a fully qualified path it works. Visual Studio sets the path to a relative path (e.g. -ext WixFirewallExtension.dll) and so it fails. I can't seem to find any way to force Visual Studio to load the correct file.

I suspect Candle is loading the 3.0 version; try FusLogVw to verify. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
