Hi,

When i have 3.0.4123.0 installed on my pc i am unable to use any source control plugin in vs2008. when i try and check our a file or project either automatically by editing a file or manually from the context menus i get an error message. This is with all project types, not just wix projects.

    Why do you think it is the WiX install that broke source control? It seems unlikely that WiX could affect the behavior of other project types.

    When you uninstall WiX, does the problem go away?

    Yes, As soon as I unistall WiX the problem disappears, I have had to roll back to 3.0.4102 to get a version that i can use with source control.

    We can't reproduce this internally, with either SourceSafe or TFS source control systems.

    I looked through the history of changes between builds 4102 and 4128 and didn't see anything that looked like it could possibly affect source control.

    One more question: Does the act of merely installing WiX break source control? If you install WiX but don't ever create or open a WiX project, does source control still break for other projects?

    please note that 3.0.4123.0 is working fine here, but later version don't.

    After changing my .wixproj like it is described in this blog entry (http://blogs.msdn.com/jasongin/archive/2008/07/09/votive-project-platform-configurations.aspx) 3.0.4227.0 is now working with TFS and automatic checkout is working as well.

    This problem only occurs when attempting to use an older project with a newer build of WiX. Since WiX v3 is still in beta we might have to break compatibility across builds now and then. Actually did I investigate adding some code to auto-upgrade the projects in this case, but automating it reliably wasn't straightforward so we decided against it.

    As noted by user dennisreil, the old projects can be updated manually according to the instructions at http://blogs.msdn.com/jasongin/archive/2008/07/09/votive-project-platform-configurations.aspx
