Hmmm, no answers ... I'm wondering if someone could at least point me in the right direction if I decide to take a look at the source code and see if I can fix this myself.
Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Rennie Petersen [mailto:r...@merlinia.com] Sent: 16. marts 2011 15:35 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] WiX creating obj file in strange place In my WiX 3.5 project I'm including a wxs file via a link. I.e., the wxs file is not in the project folder, it is fairly far away in the folder structure, and is included using Visual Studio's "Add as a link" facility. A specific example: My project is here: D:\Merlinia\Trunk\OutBack5x\OutBack Server\WiX 3.5 Install\OutBack Server - WiX.wixproj I include the following file using "Add as a link": D:\Merlinia\Trunk\Common5x\WiX Include files\LicenseAgreementKludge.wxs This works fine, except for one strange side-effect. WiX creates two new folders in which to place the obj file for the included file! Here is where the obj file is placed: D:\Merlinia\Trunk\OutBack5x\OutBack Server\Common5x\WiX Include files\LicenseAgreementKludge.wixobj In doing this it has created the two folders "Common5x\WiX Include files". Which I would prefer that it didn't do - I would prefer that it placed the obj file for the included file the same place as all of the other obj files. Is this a bug or a feature? Is it possible to avoid this? I've tried asking about this at StackOverflow, and got some suggestions, but while they fixed the original problem they had side-effects of their own that were even worse. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5235560/wix-creating-obj-file-in-stra nge-place Thanks in advance for any suggestions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
