When building a setup project using Votive in Visual Studio, a handle is 
kept on any extension dlls even after the build has completed. This 
poses two problems to me:

  1.  Developing extensions is a slow process, because Visual Studio has 
to be restarted every time I have to make a change to the extension. In 
order to release the lock on the extension dll.

  2.  If an extension loads an assembly from the product itself (the 
product being released with the setup project) that assembly is loaded 
into the AppDomain where the extension is running. As a consequence that 
is not released either, after the build has been completed. This means 
the product cannot be rebuild if the setup project has been build 
without restarting Visual Studio.

Is there a way around this and release the locks on the assemblies 
without restarting Visual Studio, or will I have to run WiX manually 
from the command line?

Thanks,
Morten
