Wix Compiler command line parameter incorrect

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

Hi, I am using Wix 2.0.5325.0.

In the dialog for the "Wix Compiler (candle)" action, on the "Parse Options" tab there is a checkbox for "Show warning messages". When this is checked, FB sends in "-sw" as a command line parameter to candle.exe. However, when listing the candle.exe parameter list it states:

   -sw      suppress all warnings (same as -w3)

I am not sure whether its the candle parameter help that is wrong, or if FB has the checkbox reversed but clearly there is a mismatch.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we’ll get it fixed and have a new build available soon.

FYI, it seems that the Wix Linker has the exact same issue.

 

Thanks for the quick response :)
