Hi Rob,
Other way around. I want to harvest c# projects into a wix library, which
will then be consumed in the normal manner by a wix product.
Program c# Projects > Harvested reference into > Program 1.wixlib >
Referenced in > Program suite.wixproj
This scenario does not currently work. Using a c# project to a merge module
project with a harvest reference does work however.
The reason for the wix library is for more core components which are
included in a number of installers. Yes I could also use merge modules but I
really like the concept of wix libraries.
Thanks,
Murray
