You mentioned you had to take out all of the <FragmentRef> elements you had (since 3.0 doesn't support them). Each of those caused the fragment containing the FragmentRef to "target" the identified fragment so that the linker would look for them (instead of ignore them).
Since there are no more <FragmentRef> elements, you need to use other Ref elements (such as ComponentRef, FeatureRef, BinaryRef, etc.) to do the same thing. Basically, each place you used to have a FragmentRef you need to look at elements declared in the referenced Fragment and find an appropriate one that you can find a ".*Ref" (using reg-ex syntax) element for in 3.0. You did save a copy of your 2.0 wxs files, right? -----Original Message----- From: Chad Petersen [mailto:chad.peter...@harlandfs.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 3:48 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade from WiX 2.0 to Wix 3.0.5419.0 Can I get any additional information on this? I'm finding what you said to be a bit vague. I'll provide any code I can to give an idea of how it's structured. Here's how the folders are layed out. Product.wxs Components\*.wxs Features\*.wxs UI\*.wxs I can see Candle finds all the WXS files, and is now creating all the wixobj files, but not sure how to link everything beyond using light.exe. Which <...Ref/> and where do they all go? This is obviously a fundamental change they've made to WiX, but I didn't see any information on it. -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 3:34 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade from WiX 2.0 to Wix 3.0.5419.0 You probably need to replace each <FragmentRef/> with a different <...Ref/> element to link everything in. WixCop isn't going to know what other element to use for the reference. -----Original Message----- From: Chad Petersen [mailto:chad.peter...@harlandfs.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 3:22 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade from WiX 2.0 to Wix 3.0.5419.0 This is blowing my mind. The MSI seems to get created, but it's way smaller than it should be. In looking at it using Orca there is no Component table and the File table is there, but completely empty. No Feature table, either. What's the situation with 3.0? Does WixCop not do everything needed to convert the project? At this point I'm not getting much in the way of feedback, but it sure isn't working well at all. -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 3:00 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'
