Tried to convert one of my setup projects and boom.

I am using Version 1.0 Release (build 118)

Hi Marcus,

Please send me the .vdproj file on the support e-mail. I will try to find the problematic name with blanks.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for the sample project, it was very helpful.

We have found the cause of the error, one of configuration names in you solution has a space character. We will fix the bug in our code, in the meantime, please rename that configuration to avoid the exception.

Thanks,


Also after conversion, I am unable to build the project, due to the empty description tags, but may be something you should fix.



Error 3 The Class/@Description attribute's value cannot be an empty string. If you want the value to be null or empty, simply remove the entire attribute. C:\Users\Marcus\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\KMEF\src\OnePlaceFilerSetup\obj\Debug\Harvested Output\_Redemption.com.wsx 7 1 OnePlaceFilerSetup_wix


I am using WiX 3.6 toolset

Hi Marcus,

I guess that the Heat.exe tool of WiX produces a registry entry with the Description attribute set to an empty string. Please try to use WiX 3.7. Let me know if the issue still exists.

Hi Marcus,

I fixed the issue with empty descriptions. Please download the 'XslFile.xslt' file and copy it to the 'XSLT' subfolder of the WiX project (you need to overwrite the existing file):
http://www.add-in-express.com/files/support/XslFile.zip
Then you need to rebuild the WiX project. Let me know if the issue still exists.

Sergey,

I have found another slight error,

Error 37 The system cannot find the file 'C:\Users\Marcus\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\KMEF\src\FilingClient\bin\Release\\app.config'. C:\Users\Marcus\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\KMEF\src\OnePlaceFilerSetup\obj\Release\Harvested Output\_OnePlaceOutlookAddin.wxs 9 1 OnePlaceFilerSetup_wix

This app.config is part of my project but is a do not copy to the output directory.

Really it should respect this setting.

Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Usually the app.config file is automatically renamed to <project output name>.dll.config file by Visual Studio. Do you have this file in the add-in output directory?

Nope I don't have it part of the output, It was added by one of my new get packages "protobuf".
Its just your tool assumes that it would be in the output dir as it obviously doesn't check the setting.
