Unable to change "output path" on Visual Studio 2012 and x64 configuration #3918
Comments
The problem is due to the fact that when adding the x64 config, the project.config contains duplicates entries for x64. How to reproduce :

I am facing this same problem in VS 2013 IDE also. Did the latest version of WiX installer addressed this bug ? Please share the update.

I can't change the platform to x64 in VS 2015 U2, Wix 3.10.2.2516 |
Hi guys, |
Change the configuration settings from x86 to x64 (use new option )under solution properties, that will automatically update the project property as well. |
Hey, is there any update on this? I have a VS Solution with a handful of projects and it seems to be completely impossible to hack my way out this issue. (For smaller projects usually modifying the wix project file after adding x64 plattform works, but not this time..) |
This issue is open and unassigned. That means it is waiting for someone to investigate the root problem, discuss possible solutions to that problem then implement the decided solution. If you are interested in doing so yourself, our developer documentation provides a great checklist for getting started. If you are not interested then you are waiting for someone else to become interested. If this issue has been open for a long time then there probably isn't much interest in this particular issue. In that case, you'll want to consider how to motivate others to fix it for you. This is a pretty good list of support options. |
After going to ConfigurationManager and adding a new solution platform for x64, this is the generated sln:
In the same solution, I have a bootstrapper, a classic msi setup proj and a regular csproj. After trying to create the solution and project platforms and try to build with the x64 solution platform, the csproj compiles in x64 properly, while the other two in x86. FWIW, before stumbling upon the sln, I modified the wixproj to use by default the x64 platform (first PropertyGroup) and then made sure to just leave the PropertyGroups for x64 which set the output paths and that worked even with the wrong sln. |
The output path on the visual studio 2012 plugin can't be changed when x64 configuration are chosen (both release and debug).
Visual studio 2010 works fine and x86 configuration too.
Whatever I tried on x64 the Output path is overriden by "bin$(Platform)$(Configuration)"
Close on relaunch visual studio don't fix the problem.
Configuration :
Windows 7 Ultimate french
Visual Studio 2012 ultimate edition
