Using WiX 3.7 Votive with VS2013 RC
 
|
I wanted to pass on the results of a test I did today. I started with a
Win7 VM with IE10 (prereq of VS) and VS2013. I then performed the following steps: Copy Files from a VS2010/VS2012 Dev Machine to the VM: [ProgramFilesFolder]WiX Toolset v3.7\bin IncludeFile.ico LocationFile.ico ProductFile.ico ProjectFile.ico WixLibraryFile.ico sconce2010.dll votive2010.dll [ProgramFilesFolder]Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\WiX Edit the extension.vsixmanifest found in the above WiX directory and add a new section: <VisualStudio Version="12.0"> <Edition>Ultimate</Edition> <Edition>Premium</Edition> <Edition>Pro</Edition> <Edition>Express_All</Edition> </VisualStudio> Open VS2012 Native Tools Comand Prompt and execute: devenv /setup Results: Help About shows Windows Installer XML 3.7 and File | New Project shows all the expected project types. I created a setup project and a c# custom action project. All seemed well. I then created a C++ custom action project. Intellisense gives me squigglies saying it can't find things like WcaInitialize but when I build the project it compiles. I hope this helps. I'm going to keep refining these procedures as I find issues.

I now see the SDK\VS2010 and SDK\VS2012 folders that include inc and lib
subfolders. I suspect this is where much of the work will need to be done to make VS specific libs and wired up to the version. Unless there is something else I'm missing, I'm thinking that a C++ / WiX Installer developer could make relatively short work of this. I don't think there is going to be any scary C# / VSIX work.

I don't think it will be hard either. Just waiting on approval.

Cool. Let me know if getting assignment agreements are easier now that
MSFT isn't involved. If you need any help or if you get a weekly build done that's working let me know. I need to update my ISWIX installer for 2013 also. For me it's just edit the AddIn XML to recognize the new version and wire up the project templates for the new directory structure. I've created my own customized Setup and Merge Module project types that make creating a buildable installer in 3 easy steps (convention over configuration). http://blog.iswix.com/2013/01/iswix-20130134-released.html ---------------------------------------- From: "John Cooper" <[hidden email]> Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2013 3:36 PM To: "[hidden email]" <[hidden email]>, "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <[hidden email]> Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Using WiX 3.7 Votive with VS2013 RC I don't think it will be hard either.

I followed this procedure and it worked for me. I use the older WiX v3.6 so I just copied the mentioned files over to my Visual Studio 2013.

FWIW, be careful to back these changes out before doing upgrades. I don't
want to be somehow responsible for servicing issues resulting from the baseline being in a non-standard state. There is already a WiX 3.8 weekly release that supports VS2013 so these procedures should be for the most part no longer needed.
