Thanks Steven,
But that is not exactly what I was getting at. We have a WiX include file
that is included.
What I was referring to was to include a *.wxs file, that resides in a
shared location (environment variable), that I need complied into the main
WiX project.
When we add a new .wxs file to the project (.wixproj) file, no mater where
that file resides it will simply copy it to the local build wix project
folder and then access if from there.
What we wanted was for the file just to be referenced from the folder it is
in. So if we have the following in our .wixproj file it will simply compile
all the files listed here into the project.
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="CAFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="ComponentFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="DirFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="ErrorTableFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="FilesFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="PackageRegistration.wxs" />
<Compile Include="PropertiesFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="RegComponentFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="ShortcutFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="Product.wxs" />
<Compile Include="UpgradeTableFragment.wxs" />
</ItemGroup>
Now if I try to add a new .wxs file, say SharedFragment.wxs, from a
environment folder then the project will fail to load:
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="CAFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="ComponentFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="DirFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="ErrorTableFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="FilesFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="PackageRegistration.wxs" />
<Compile Include="PropertiesFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="RegComponentFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="ShortcutFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="Product.wxs" />
<Compile Include="UpgradeTableFragment.wxs" />
<Compile Include="$(env.Shared)\SharedFragment.wxs" />
</ItemGroup>
So is there anyway to do this or is this actually a issue with MS VStudio
2010 and therefore nothing that can be done other than simply include that
file into our build script to copy the file from the environment variable
and place into the project folder for it to be included in the build?
Thanks,
Tim.
