Currently, I have a wix script, contains a component with file source attribute value:
..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\external\Test\x64\Release\FileOperationProviders\Test\Test\AmberCore.IgmapPlus.PlugIns.ImportExport.ImportESRI.dll My script is under such a folder: C:\Perforce\PSEBP4\PlatformSDK\branches\Test\SprintDev\Test\source\Test\develop\Test\TestSetup And the absolute path of this dll is: C:\Perforce\PSEBP4\PlatformSDK\external\Test\x64\Release\FileOperationProviders\Test\Test\AmberCore.IgmapPlus.PlugIns.ImportExport.ImportESRI.dll When I execute Light.exe, it prompts such an error: light.exe : error LGHT0103 : The system cannot find the file '..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\external\Test\x64\Release\FileOperationProviders\Test\Test\AmberCore.IgmapPlus.PlugIns.ImportExport.ImportESRI.dll' with type ''. I believe, "..\" 9 times should be correct. And also, if I use the absolute path for the file source attribute, Light works fine. Does anyone know where is the issue here? BTW, if I modify "AmberCore.IgmapPlus.PlugIns.ImportExport.ImportESRI.dll" to "AmberCore.ImportESRI.dll", relative path also works. The issue only happens on some LONG-LENGTH name files. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Relative-Path-cause-Light-unable-to-find-source-files-tp7579897.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
