How can I build the CoApp installer? #58

Closed yodantauber closed 10 years ago

yodantauber commented 10 years ago

Having built CoApp.PowerShell.Tools successfully (from the source currently in the master branch of this GitHub project), I'm now trying to build the installer. I installed WiX 3.8. If I just open Installer.wixproj with Visual Studio and try to build it, I get the following error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\wix2010.targets(508,7): error : The OutputPath property is not set for this project.  Please check to make sure that you have specified a valid Configuration/Platform combination.  Configuration='Release'  Platform='x86'

If I add an output path, I get the following error:

Product.wxs(36,0): error CNDL0150: Undefined preprocessor variable '$(env.SolutionDir)'.

Should I open the installer project as part of some solution? Should I somehow build from command line and not from within VS?

I haven't built the installer with the vs project in a while (didn't work with VS2013 last I tried).

You should be able to build the MSI from the command line. (uh... whoops)

I just pushed up a change with my publish.cmd script in it.

It works with publish.cmd, thanks!
