> Hello,

> We have converted one of our installer projects to WiX and it seems to
> work well. However, on our development machines we have an environment
> variable, ProjectPath, which is completely unrelated to WiX. When the
> project is built from Visual Studio (2012), this environment variable is
> expanded in Light's command line:
>
> 1> C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\Light.exe -out
> C:\BUILD\tools\BuildMgr\trunk\Nov.BuildMgr.WixInstall\bin\Release\BuildmanagerSetup.msi
>
> -pdbout
> C:\BUILD\tools\BuildMgr\trunk\Nov.BuildMgr.WixInstall\bin\Release\BuildmanagerSetup.wixpdb
>
> -cultures:null -ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset
> v3.7\bin\\WixUIExtension.dll" -contentsfile
> obj\Release\Nov.BuildMgr.WixInstall.wixproj.BindContentsFileListnull.txt
> -outputsfile
> obj\Release\Nov.BuildMgr.WixInstall.wixproj.BindOutputsFileListnull.txt
> -builtoutputsfile
> obj\Release\Nov.BuildMgr.WixInstall.wixproj.BindBuiltOutputsFileListnull.txt
> -wixprojectfile \\DEUS\COMMON\PROJECT obj\Release\Product.wixobj
> 1>light.exe(0,0): error LGHT0281: The -wixprojectfile option requires a
> file, but the provided path is a directory: \\DEUS\COMMON\PROJECT
>
> The offending part is "-wixprojectfile \\DEUS\COMMON\PROJECT
> obj\Release\Product.wixobj" (I have ProjectPath set to
> \\DEUS\COMMON\PROJECT). The current work-around is to remove the
> environment variable when building an install project, but this is a bit
> clunky. Is there a better solution?
