VS UI not updated - Wix Extension path with configuration #3103

Open wixbot opened 13 years ago

wixbot commented 13 years ago

The only way to add Wix Extension in a project is to Add Reference and Browse the DLL file even if the Wix Extension project is in the same solution. I change the wixproj HintPath to follow the current Configuration like Debug or Release to update the HintPath accordingly. So this is the partial wixproj file:

..\WixExtension\bin\$(Configuration)\WixExtension.dll WixExtension

Note that when I change the config to Release, and check at my Wix Extension reference in Solution Explorer and click Properties, the Full Path is outdated and not show it come from the Release path.

When I exit VS and delete my Wix extension in the bin\Debug folder, opening back the project shows my wix extension reference icon has the exclamination mark to tell that the dll was missing. but when I build the Wix project, it succeed and i think it just get the dll from bin\Release correctly.

So the only Full Path property of the wix extension reference is not evaluated and the icon that state the reference outdated is a UI bug.
