[wix-devs] Changes to linking between 3.7 and 3.10?

[Heath Stewart]

Well, look at all the "wrong" stuff for a couple hours to no avail, send email, and find it within a few minutes. Seems an internal change didn't make it out, which led me to https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/4244, which was closed in lieu of a proposed wix4 feature: https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/4259

We need this to (hopefully) complete migration. We will slowly be migrating things to wix4 but have to keep the wheels turning. I've opened https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5227 since I couldn't reopen the original bug and would like to propose making this an optional feature for WiX 3.11.

A bit more info would be helpful...  What symbol?  Any error messages / logs?

In the course of upgrading our tools to work on 3.10.2 from our 3.7 internal source (plus fixes - almost all of which are now in OSS), I'm hitting duplicate symbol issues when linking some wixlibs into MSIs - all built from scratch with each version. I've been trying to track down what's changed and, after a while now, thought I would ask in parallel while I try to track down differences if anyone knows of something that could've been introduced to cause this.

I've looked for differences between wix2010.targets file and MSBuild output and nothing stands out as a cause. Going to start diff'ing sources but maybe someone knows something off hand that could pinpoint the problem.

Thanks,
