I don't fully understand what you're describing but one difference from our set-up is that we have the Wix projects each in their own solution. The MSIs take a long time to build and most C# (C++, etc.) developers don't want to build them when they press "build solution" during development, nor do the deployment team need to build everything from scratch when building the installers.
-----Original Message----- From: Brownfield, Cory [mailto:cbrownfi...@aeci.org] Sent: 27 November 2012 14:51 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Project reference question My team has decided to add only the top-level project reference to the WiX project in each solution. We typically have simple builds where each solution has one WiX project that builds a single MSI. So if we have a service solution, we will be adding a single project reference to our WiX project for the Windows Service Host. Since that project gets a copy of all other project and library DLLs when built (we will be making sure of that), we will just be referencing the DLLs from this top-level build directory in the WiX script. This seems to be wrong, but I can't come up with a compelling argument as to why. What problems might be introduced by using this method? If this is a perfectly valid method, let me know. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
