Hi.
I'm trying ot get
the MSI task to build an MSI we've been having VS.NET 2003
build
so far. I've read
all documentation I've been able to find, including the WiKi but
still
have a few
questions.
I found the vdproj
converter and used it to generate a snipplet of code for the msi
task.
But when I test it
there are loads of problems.
For
example:
<directories>
<directory name="GAC" foldername="#1927"/>
<directory name="_61CDB031856D44C39633CA2719013BE3" foldername="Template" root="TARGETDIR" />
<directory name="_29AB51A35CE848F891F7660EA2DF7DE0" foldername="VSFiles" root="TARGETDIR" />
<directory name="_DD53110BF53643A099CEB271B5350C8C" foldername="IFS" root="CommonFilesFolder">
<directory name="_83AC46522E7544DB97F4C57E05E29D2C" foldername="Visual Studio Extensions" root="_DD53110BF53643A099CEB271B5350C8C" />
</directory>
</directories>
<directory name="GAC" foldername="#1927"/>
<directory name="_61CDB031856D44C39633CA2719013BE3" foldername="Template" root="TARGETDIR" />
<directory name="_29AB51A35CE848F891F7660EA2DF7DE0" foldername="VSFiles" root="TARGETDIR" />
<directory name="_DD53110BF53643A099CEB271B5350C8C" foldername="IFS" root="CommonFilesFolder">
<directory name="_83AC46522E7544DB97F4C57E05E29D2C" foldername="Visual Studio Extensions" root="_DD53110BF53643A099CEB271B5350C8C" />
</directory>
</directories>
Errors out on mandatory root attribute not being set on the GAC line,
then complains about the last directory that
the root attribute is not set.
Does this mean GAC is not supported nor is linked
directories?
There are also quite a few "empty" components lines that gives
errors.
Does anyone know if vdprojconverter is supposed to work? I was unable to
find any links to a maintainer
only the download page.
Are there any other way this could be done simpler. Seems like this is
really difficult to do or am
I missing something?
