wix3.9 - unable to get Wix heat.exe working -
i working wix in combination visual studio 2013. bud there dont seem working. building installer (.msi) means need add files it, of course dont want al hand trying use heat.exe bud not succesful moment.
i have tried following: made system variable points location of files. put system variable in command described in wix documentation:
heat dir ".\mysystemvariablename" -gg -sfrag -template:fragment -out directory.wxs
i inserted command in pre-build command line, selected suppress ice validation. when build project returns error 9009, couldnt figure out why or problem followed tutorial on youtube.
in tutorial command used:
“$(wix)bin\heat.exe” dir “$(superformfilesdir)” -cg superformfiles -gg -scom -sreg -sfrag -srd -dr installlocation -var env.superformfilesdir -out “$(projectdir)fragments\filesfragment.wxs”
in video stripped down this:
“$(wix)bin\heat.exe” dir “$(mysystemvariablename)” -cg mysystemvariablename -gg -scom -sreg -sfrag -srd -out “$(projectdir)\filesfragment.wxs”
when build project these changes returns 2 errors:
- startindex not allowed bigger lengt of character-array.
- the command "commando..." exited code 1.
the first error mystery me , second error has huge ammount of potential problem cause error.
i realy struggeling it, knowledge of wix 0 since using first time , program skills far not sufficient solve on own.
link video people interested.
thanks in advance.
