Request for control over the Intermediate output location in Visual Studio #4090

Open wixbot opened 11 years ago

wixbot commented 11 years ago

Hi All,

Could we please get an option in the property pages to specify where the intermediate (object) files are generated. This would make handling the source control easier as I can put the obj files into the Obj directory and exclude the whole directory from my source control. Currently, the intermediate files are created in a sub-directory in the source directory of the wix project. I would very much like to be able to specify a different directory without manually hacking the wixproj file.

All we need is the "IntermediateOutputPath" property to be exposed in the property pages the same way ther others are.

Thanks,

Duncan

Not every capability is exposed through the project property pages. C# projects likewise don't expose the intermediate output path setting. Triage agreed this was extremely low priority and was unlikely to gain traction. If you're interested in contributing the feature, please send mail to wix-devs and we can discuss it there.
