This one has me stumped. I am using Visual Studio 2013 and have been forced change my MSI packaging system. I have installed Wix and have gone through the bumpy ride of trying to make it do something..
My project is nothing more than a plugin (a DLL) for a larger app. The wrinkle is that rather than using "DLL" for the extension, it uses a custom extension. (".xyz" for this example.)
Currently, I have gotten an MSI package with cab file working. But I believe that only the .msm files are embedded.
When I run the MSI, my destination folders are created, but that is about it. I suspect that because of the custom DLL extension, the output from VC++ isn't being recognised by Wix.
Can anyone suggest a place to look?
Thanks in advance!
Well, this is a fore-head slapper! I went into my solution's Properties, and changed the Target Extension from .dll to .xyz.
After a cleanup and build of my solution, everything worked as expected. Woohoo!
