[wix-users] Unusual warning in build

[Phill Hogland]

I believe that his behavior dates back to the v3.9 era.  You can right-click the Project and 'Unload' it in the VS IDE, then right-click and add the code in the error message to the first PropertyGroup which defines the global defaults.


I have a mycommon.targets file which I already import into every wixproj, so  I just added the code to the common targets file.


<DefineSolutionProperties Condition=" '$(DefineSolutionProperties)' == '' ">false</DefineSolutionProperties>

Subject: [wix-users] Unusual warning in build

I recently upgraded several projects that were previously using WiX 3.8 to the latest WiX 3.10R3.

I'm getting the following warning in all of them:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\wix2010.targets(1199,5): warning : Solution properties are only available during IDE builds or when building the solution file from the command line. To turn off this warning set <DefineSolutionProperties>false</DefineSolutionProperties> in your .wixproj file. [D:\Workspaces\TAP-DEV\Sources\BUILD\WiXInstaller\TAPServicesSetup\TAPServicesSetup.wixproj] [D:\Workspaces\TAP-DEV\Sources\BUILD\MSBuild\MSBuild.proj]


I didn't get this warning before.  What is this about, exactly?  Is there an easier way to make it go away or fix whatever the problem is other than manually editing all my .wixproj files?
