For some time now (at least the last three drops) I have been unable to build WiX 3.0 successfully. The first error I encounter is:

 

light.inc:

 

BUILD FAILED

 

C:\MyWork\WiX\wix3-sources\src\light\light.build(58,6):

Could not find file 'C:\MyWork\WiX\wix3-sources\src\light\bin\darice.cub' to copy.

 

I encounter similar errors with mergemod.cub and MergeMod.dll. I create a bin folder under src\light and copy the .cub files from my installation of MsiVal (which in turn comes from the Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2 installation). I also copy MergeMod.dll from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin. The build then chugs along merrily till it hits the following roadblock:

I have a full installation of Visual Studio .NET 2003 and 2005 but cannot locate the folder 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\PlatformSDK\lib\prerelease'

 

Anyone run into similar issues building WiX 3.0? BTW, I am able to build WiX 2.0 without any issues – including Votive. I use the “make ship” command to build WiX 2.0 and 3.0.

 

Any assistance appreciated.

 

TIA
