[wix-users] warning LGHT1076: ICE60: The file xxx.dll is not a Font, and its version is not a companion file reference.

[Hoover, Jacob]

It seems that there is an error with the 3rd party component you are using.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/ice60

Seems the MS JDBC developer included version info in the DLL but not a language in the version file info.

My guess is that you can’t upgrade to a newer version (which may have fixed this [I didn’t look]), so if you want to avoid excessive file copying you could add a second file to the component and make it the key path.

Just simple one file component:

<Component Id="sqljdbc_auth.dll" Guid="*" Win64="$(var.Win64)">
<File Id="sqljdbc_auth.dll" Source="src\dll\$(var.DllPath)\sqljdbc_auth.dll" KeyPath="yes" />
</Component>

$(var.Win64) and $(var.DllPath) is prefilled with correct value depending on the platform.

How is the component which includes this file authored?

Subject: [wix-users] warning LGHT1076: ICE60: The file xxx.dll is not a Font, and its version is not a companion file reference.

Hello,

my Wix project has one DLL file which doesn‘t have Language information or entry point defined. It‘s actually a Microsoft JDBC SQL library which should be called by the application directly.

Every time when I compile a project I get:
warning LGHT1076: ICE60: The file sqljdbc_auth.dll is not a Font, and its version is not a companion file reference.

Internet search suggests that I should use DefaultLanguage=”0” for such files, but this produces:
warning LGHT1101: The DefaultLanguage '0' was used for file 'sqljdbc_auth.dll' which has no language.

I suppose this has something to do with this description from Wix documentation:
“…This is the default language of this file. The linker will replace this value from the value in the file _if the suppress files_ option is not used….”

What is this “suppress files” option? What is the proper way to fix this warning? Or should I just ignore ICE60 warnings for projects which use such DLL files?
