I'm trying to update/fix a custom action that's included in the WixUtilExtension DLL. Once I've implemented/tested the fix I'll send it for code review/integration into Wix.

So do I need this private key in order to do this? Or is there some other way to modify the custom action in WixUtilExtension and test it in my own MSI?

Any particular reason you?re trying to build it instead of using a nightly build? Is there a pending bug you need to build a custom version of Wix for? Or are you contributing fixes to the project?

I?m not a wix dev, nor do I play one on TV, but unless you?re needing to build it a lot long-term or have some other compelling reason, it?s really not worth the extensive set-up required to do a build. I did notice that occasionally needed files fall out and back into the source archives, but the run-time .msi installer is always pretty solid.

Note that Wix binaries (at least last year when I was trying to build it due to a small bug we were running into, now fixed) are signed, or strong-named, or whatever (I?m not too keen on the terminology) and if you don?t have their private key (which you don?t) you won?t be successful in building and distributing your installers to outside entities or other machines. Or at least that was my experience.

Doing that got my farther. My goal is to get WixUtilExtension.dll working. I see that it got built, but when I tried to reference it from my MSI (which is built in VS2005 with Votive) I get the error: candle.exe(0,0): Error CNDL0144: The extension 'D:\WixV3\Release\debug\WixUtilExtension.dll' could not be loaded.The only other interesting points are:- I'm using build 3015- My build still fails, but at the Votive section which I'm choosing not to build. Perhaps I need to build Votive too? Any help in getting this to work is appreciated. Thanks,Kevin

I had to manually copy daruice.cub, mergemod.cub, & mergemod.dll to src/light/bin on build 3001 to get the build to work. The zip step of the build also wanted ProjectAggregator2.msi in the Release\debug (for a debug build), but the wix msi is already created at this point.

I am very new to WiX and perhaps I too am missing something that a more experienced user can explain.

Thanks,
Tim

In general, we try to not have duplicates between the binaries and
sources .zip files, especially for big files. So you need both zips to
get a buildable tree.

If you're using the candle.exe from WiX.msi, .NET won't load your built
extension assembly because candle.exe is signed and your assembly isn't.
That's a security feature of .NET. You need to use the candle.exe that
you're building so it's an unsigned candle.exe loading an unsigned
extension assembly. Use fuslogvw.exe to verify the assembly load failure.

I believe if you build/test on the same machine it should be fine. If
you build wix and transfer the apps to a different machine to put
together an .msi, I think that's where you run into problems. See Bob
A's message that he just sent, explains it better than I, and I think
this might be what the problem is. I remember that the errors .NET
throws are not as verbose as they could be and it took a while to figure
it out.

I downloaded the latest release of WiX v3 and am running into build
errors. I have the specified version of Nant and Visual Studio 2005
installed.

I'm running the command:
make full debug

This gave an error about wix.targets not being found in Release\debug.

I found the file in src\WixTasks and copied it there. This "fixed" that
error.

If I run "make full debug" again, I now get the error:
Could not find file 'D:\WixV3\src\light\bin\darice.cub' to copy.

The verbose log leading up to that looks like:

dark:

light.inc:
[copy] Copying 1 file to 'D:\WixV3\Release\debug\light.exe.config'.
[copy] Copying 'D:\WixV3\src\light\app.config' to
'D:\WixV3\Release\debug\light.exe.config'.
BUILD FAILED - 1 non-fatal error(s), 1 warning(s)
D:\WixV3\src\light\light.build(58,6):

NAnt.Core.BuildException: D:\WixV3\src\light\light.build(58,6):

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
