Hey all, I have a custom Heat task, aka. a class derived from HeatTask. It works fine under Wix3.5 and Wix3.6 in Visual Studio 2008.
A problem arises is under Wix3.6 and VS2012. When building in VS2012, the WixTasks.dll dependency can't be found. It would appear (from using ProcMon) that in VS2008, Votive (or something) is loading the WixTasks as part of its operation thus when my custom task runs at build time, the dll is found to be already loaded. That's isn't the case in VS2012. The <UsingTask> doesn't provide a <Hint> like element to help the dependencies be located. I'd rather not be forced into trying to put all the WiX dependencies into the GAC or the IDE directory for obvious maintenance reasons. So, what is the proper way to get a custom task to work when it has dependencies that aren't in the GAC, probe path, etc. ----- Ed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel(R) Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
