Hello good people.
I've been successful adding some templates to Visual Studio 2008, 2008
Express, 2010 and finally reached a big question mark when it comes to *2010
Express*.
It seems that using *WiX 3.5.2006* I can't find the *vwdexpress.exe path* in
the VWD2010EXPRESS_IDE property.
So far I've tried is including WixVsExtensions.dll, adding <PropertyRef Id='
VWD2010EXPRESS_IDE'/> and using the property as condition for my features.
When examinig an installation log I can't see any VWD2010EXPRESS_IDE in
there, while properties such as VS2010DEVENV show up.
So far my debugging attempts have led me to wixlib\VSExtension.wxs where I
find this:
<!-- Indicates whether the Visual Web Developer 2010 Express IDE component
is installed. -->
<!-- If this property is set, that means Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
Edition is -->
<!-- installed on the system. -->
<Fragment>
<Property Id="VWD2010EXPRESS_IDE" Secure="yes">
<ComponentSearch Id="SearchForVwdExpressIde2010Component" Guid="*
986F63FE-49CD-45F7-8AAF-4E0016D48E6A*" Type="file">
<FileSearch Id="VwdExpressIde2010" Name="vwdexpress.exe"/>
</ComponentSearch>
</Property>
</Fragment>
However, when I try to find this guid in *vs_setup.msi I can't find this
component guid*. What I do see is this component: VWDExpress_Exe_27323.*
3643236F_FC70_11D3_A536_0090278A1BB8*. Is it possible the component guid has
changed?
I'd would appreciate any hints on how to proceed. Am I doing something
*obviously
wrong*? Should I revert to *searhcing for the exe* in program files? Or
should I replicate the ComponentSearch behavior in VSExtension.wxs with this
*other guid*?
Sorry for the long mail and thank you,
/Cristian
