I recently encountered some problem with heat.exe with respect to COM registry harvesting, and wanted to step through the code in the debugger, to see what was the problem.
I had some initial trouble setting up a dev environment for WiX, have read Neil Sleightholm's post on How To Create a WiX build machine, but it didn’t go so well for me. The process is really simple, with the following commands:
- do a cvs checkout per instruction here:
- cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@wix.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wix login
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@wix.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wix co -P wix
- set WIX_ROOT environment variable
- cd to %WIX_ROOT%
- Run bin\wixenv.bat,
- Run NAnt
Yet, when I ran the NAnt command, I kept getting this error:
Failed to initialize the 'Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0' (net-2.0) target
framework. Property evaluation failed.
Expression: ${path::combine(sdkInstallRoot, 'bin')}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Property 'sdkInstallRoot' has not been set.
Part of the problem was that it needed a post-0.86-beta1 build of NAnt, which unfortunately, is not available on the NAnt project home page. I managed to find it by googling, leading to this download link (the version I downloaded was 0.86.3317.0, 30/01/2009). Once I got NAnt 0.86.3317.0 in place, the wix build finished without a hitch.
