I am running a heat command as pre-build event in my installer.wixproj.
I want my dir-parameter (HarvestPath) to be the target directory of my included project reference.
Now inside my .wixproj-file I have
<PropertyGroup>
<HarvestPath Condition=" '$(HarvestPath)' == '' ">"@(ProjectReference.TargetDir)"</HarvestPath>
<DefineConstants>HarvestPath=$(HarvestPath)</DefineConstants>
</PropertyGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\..\NAME.csproj">
<Name>NAME</Name>
<Project>SOME_GUID</Project>
<Private>True</Private>
<DoNotHarvest>True</DoNotHarvest>
<RefProjectOutputGroups>Binaries;Content;Satellites</RefProjectOutputGroups>
<RefTargetDir>INSTALLFOLDER</RefTargetDir>
</ProjectReference>
How can I access the target directory of the project reference?
"@(ProjectReference)"only gives me the full path to its .csproj file and I can't find any documentation for that.
Ok so I found a workaround in case anyone is interested.
I simply used "$(SolutionDir)\MY_PROJECT_FOLDER\MY_PROJECT_TARGET". It's not exactly what I aimed for but it works.
