Hi all, Newbie question. Brand-new to WiX, I'm trying to follow the instructions here: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/authoring_first_votive_project.htm
I'm running Visual Studio 2010 (10.0.4.40219.1 SP1Rel) and WiX 3.6. (I downloaded the latter from SourceForge as a binary today and ran it. The installation was successful, according to WiX_Toolset_v3.6.3303.1_20120918154141_4_nsdk2010.msi.log.) Step 1 of the instructions at that URL (Create the C# Windows Form Application) seems OK. It's Step 2 I'm having a problem with. It says: -- Choose the Windows Installer XML node in the Project types tree, then select WiX Project But when I select Windows Installer XML, there is no option for "WiX Project" -- the choices are: Setup Project Merge Module Project Setup Library Project Bootstrapper Project C# Custom Action Project VB Custom Action Project C++ Custom Action Project I tried choosing "Setup Project." But then when I get to these steps: -- In the MySetup project, right-click on the References node and choose Add Reference.... -- Navigate to the Projects tab, click on the MyApplication project, and click the Add button, and then press OK. there is nothing in the Projects tab. I tried using the Browse tab instead to navigate into the MyApplication directory but nothing in here is selectable. It seems to want a file of type "WiX Reference Files (*.dll, *.wixlib)" but there's nothing like that within this MyApplication directory. If I select Files of type "All Files (*.*)" and then choose the .csproj or .sln file, then click OK, it complains and says I have to make sure the file "is a valid WiX reference". I also tried building MyApplication (which BTW the instructions don't say you need to do), but it produces a .exe file -- no .dll or .wixlib in sight -- and selecting that results in the same error. Are the instructions out of date? What do I need to do differently?
