WiX v7 source builds: how should the EULA acceptance check be handled?

[juahmed92]

Question

Hello,

We built WiX v7.0.0 from the v7.0.0 source tag and plan to use our independently compiled tool and extensions with CPack to create installers for commercial software.

Section 4 of the tagged OSMFEULA.txt states that users may independently compile binaries without that agreement, subject to the OSI licence terms. However, our source-built executable still reports WIX7015 and requires acceptance of the OSMF EULA before running build commands.

What is the intended way to handle this for independently compiled binaries? Is there a supported build setting or documented procedure, or does the project expect independently compiled distributions to modify this check?

We would prefer to follow the intended approach and minimise differences from upstream.

Thanks.

No, there is no setting for that. We maintain the build to produce the official WiX Toolset.
