Hi,
I have just purchased and freshly installed VDProj to WIX converter and aim to convert my existing VSTO setup project to WIX (and ultimately a converted ADX solution too).
I have installed WIX 3.7.1224.0
Addin Express 7.4.4067
VDProj to WIX converter 1.4.129
This is on VS 2005 and WIN 2003 R2 SP2
I put together a simple test solution with and ADX add-in and a basic setup project with no frills.
However when using the convert to WIX project on the setup context menu i get a dialog reporting that some errors occurred during conversion.
In the error list i get :-
Error 1 VDProj to WiX Converter error: The application for project 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\MyAddin1\Setup1\Setup1_wix.wixproj' is not installed.
Make sure the application for the project type (.wixproj) is installed.

Would appreciate any help - I must be doing something basic wrong...

Hi Andrei,
I am on VS 2005 and WIN 2003 R2 SP2 OS.
Once converted i will be moving the wix project to VS 2012.

Ian,
Do you have WiX listed on the About page of VS 2005?

Andrei,
I believe i have the solution.
Having tried Wix 3.8 (Package Load Error) and Wix 3.7 (issues as above) I installed WiX 3.6 and it seems to be OK.
For my combination of VS 2005 and Server 2003 R2 SP2 it looks like WiX 3.6 is the best fit.
Hopefully i won't need any features of the later versions and perhaps Codeplex will fix the problem in 3.8.
regards,
Ian |
