I currently have a WIX 3.5 project within VS2010 which has a number of project references. One of the projects referenced (ProjectA) is configured to NOT build within the solution configuration (set via the Solution Configuration Manager). I won't go into the reason that ProjectA is not built but the basic requirement is that I need to reference a file from the ProjectDir of ProjectA (i.e. there is no reference to TargetDir). Therefore for the purposes of this post please assume that I must NOT compile ProjectA.
When building within VS2010 everything works fine and the Solution Configuration is respected (i.e. ProjectA is never actually compiled but the project reference works as intended). However when building the solution through TeamBuild, the WIX2010 targets (specifically ResolveProjectReferences) insists on compiling ALL projects referenced. I have found comments in the WIX targets (ResolveProjectReferences) suggesting that if building through the IDE just gather build outputs (i.e. it assumes all projects have already been built), however if being built directly from the command line (and TeamBuild) build all referenced projects. Therefore my basic question is there a way in which I can suppress the compilation of ProjectA when running within TeamBuild. I have looked at things like DoNotHarvest etc but to no avail. This behavior has only arisen since the introduction of the Wix2010 targets. Therefore I suspect it may be a subtle change to ResolveProjectReferences (e.g. I have spotted a check for $(BuildingSolutionFile) that no longer exist in the 2010 version) but do not want modify that file for obvious reasons. I know how to achieve the requirement mentioned above without using a project reference to ProjectA, but that would involve some rework when migrating to VS2010.Therefore any guidance on the specific issue described above would be greatly appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lloyds TSB Bank plc.
