I have a VS2008 solution which contains a couple of C++ projects and C#
projects. Within this solution, a WiX3.5 setup project is created to generate a
MSI installation package. All the outputs of my C++ projects and C# projects
need to be added into the installation package. I follow the instruction of
(http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/votive_project_references.htm). It
works fine with C# projects. However, it does not work with C++ project:
- After I add reference to a C++ project, its "Full Path" property will show
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
- If I add a component as shown below, I will get "error CNDL0150: Undefined
preprocessor variable '$(var.myC++Project.TargetFileName)'"
<Component Id="myC++Project" Guid="CF8AEB23-7573-4A68-AA48-E1BD7FF7A0F1">
<File Id="myC++Project" Name="$(var.myC++Project.TargetFileName)"
Source="$(var.myC++Project.TargetPath)" DiskId="1" />
</Component>
I googled this issue and found some 2-years-ago posts saying that referencing
C++ project with WiX was not supported at that time and will probably be
supported in the future. However, it look like it is still not supported now.
How could I add references to C++ projects with WiX? Thanks.
