Create WiX EventSource for .NET 4.5

I'm upgrading an application from .NET 4.0 to .NET 4.5.

Previously in my installer, I had this:

<u:EventSource Name="$(var.MainExe)" Log="Application" EventMessageFile="[NETFRAMEWORK40FULLINSTALLROOTDIR]EventLogMessages.dll" />

However, looking at the documentation, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent to NETFRAMEWORK40FULLINSTALLROOTDIR for .NET 4.5.

How should I be updating this line of installer for .NET 4.5? Is there an undocumented variable, or is there now a whole different way of working?

Solution

  • .NET 4.5 (and 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 and 4.6) are in-place upgrades for .NET 4.0, so you can use the same property.
