Hi all,
I'm currently trying to put together an installer which will deploy 4 Web
Applications to a set of servers.
This means there are 4 separate Web Application directories with 4 separate
(and different) versions of the Web.config file.
I'm using Heat to generate the .wxs files for the Web Applications, however
it only appears to be giving each instance of the Web.config <File> the
Source="SourceDir\Web.config", which I believe is resulting in only the
first Web.config being used for each of the Web Applications (which is
causing the other three to not work).
I'm also using Visual Studio 2012, and Votive (I believe..). So I've got
the following at the end of my .wixproj file
.
<Import Project="$(WixTargetsPath)" />
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<MSBuild Projects="%(ProjectReference.FullPath)" Targets="Package"
Properties="Configuration=$(Configuration);Platform=AnyCPU"
Condition="'%(ProjectReference.WebProject)'=='True'" />
<ItemGroup>
<LinkerBindInputPaths
Include="%(ProjectReference.RootDir)%(ProjectReference.Directory)obj\$(Confi
guration)\Package\PackageTmp\" />
</ItemGroup>
<PropertyGroup>
<DefineConstants Condition="'%(ProjectReference.WebProject)'=='True'">
$(DefineConstants);%(ProjectReference.Name).PackageDir=%(ProjectReference.Ro
otDir)%(ProjectReference.Directory)obj\$(Configuration)\Package\PackageTmp\
</DefineConstants>
</PropertyGroup>
<HeatDirectory OutputFile="%(ProjectReference.Filename).wxs"
Directory="%(ProjectReference.RootDir)%(ProjectReference.Directory)obj\$(Con
figuration)\Package\PackageTmp"
DirectoryRefId="%(ProjectReference.RefTargetDir)"
ComponentGroupName="%(ProjectReference.Filename)_Project"
AutogenerateGuids="true"
SuppressCom="true"
SuppressFragments="true"
SuppressRegistry="true"
SuppressRootDirectory="true"
PreprocessorVariable="wix.%(ProjectReference.Name).PackageDir=%(ProjectRefer
ence.RootDir)%(ProjectReference.Directory)obj\$(Configuration)\Package\Packa
geTmp"
ToolPath="$(WixToolPath)"
Condition="'%(ProjectReference.WebProject)'=='True'" />
</Target>
</Project>
The PreprocessorVariable stuff on the HeatDirectory action is my attempt at
fixing the issue. However I don't seem to be able to get the
DefineConstants working properly (it's only ever assigning one path, not the
remaining three). The initial version (which I found via google searches),
didn't have any PreprocessorVariable, and had the exact issue I mention
above. This new version appears better (has unique Source paths), but
doesn't compile because of the lacking Defines.
I can attach the actual .wxs file outputs if desired, however I didn't think
they would be so beneficial to send just yet. I would have expected others
would have come upon this issue before..
Unless it's something that a recent version of WiX has brought up. I'm
running v3.7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Bevan Weiss
