[wix-users] Build error while building setup project

Fri Mar 25 06:03:45 PDT 2016

See:  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/42x5kfw4.aspx for a start.

Although $(SolutionDir) and $(Configuration) are supported macros, in my experience they are not defined in all scenarios--particularly $(SolutionDir).  I generally create a conditional fallback value for $(SolutionDir) in particular if it is not defined.

In general, I do not use PreBuildEvent or PostBuildEvent.  The ease of putting them in is erased by the difficulty of debugging them when they're flaky.  Use a real MSBuild Target and write a real MSBuild Tool Task for your executable(s) in that bat file.  9009 basically means there was a general failure to execute the command line.  It could be the filename, it could be the path, it could be something inside the BAT file failing--same error regardless.

Hello,

I am creating wix installers for AsP.MVC web application.But I am getting an error saying that "The Command {..} exited with code 9009."

Probably the error is because of this line :

  <PropertyGroup>
    <PreBuildEvent>$(SolutionDir)Setup.eMee.Aboard.API\PreBuild.$(Configuration).bat $(SolutionDir)</PreBuildEvent>
  </PropertyGroup>

Can anyone help me to resolve this issue ?

Thanks David, I will see if I can get the password to disable my virus checker and test.

Kind regards

Is a virus checker locking it maybe?

Are you trying to replace one that is already there?

Hi,

When I include a particular file in my installer I get an error when I try to run the .msi file.

Error Message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.
You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item."

I know it's the one file because when I remove only it from the build and run the installer it works as expected. Then when I put it back in, it fails every time.

The file is GDALInfo.exe. It is part of OSGEO which is an open source geospatial application.

I don't believe it is some kind of file lock because I don't engage the file or otherwise use it. I restart my computer all the time with this same issue and so I can't see how the file could be locked.

I have looked at the properties of the file and the file permissions are the same as every other file in the directory.

Has anyone dealt with this type of issue before? Is there a work around?
