You want to build Votive? Go to the src\votive\votive#### folder and build.
You'll need the appropriate VS SDK. Bob would probably know if there was more
than that since he fixed some Votive bugs in v3.8.

Cool. So, where's a good starting point to find out how to build what I need to
build? To test what I want to test, I'd need to have Votive installed so I can
build my test app with VS to see if my fix works.

The WiX build automatically turns off stuff if you don't have the pre-reqs
available. That allows one to work on some part of the WiX toolset they are
interested in without installing the huge list of dependencies necessary to
build everything.
For example, I don't work on Votive so I don't install all of its numerous
pre-reqs and my build is faster and more awesome.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Building WiX
I'm able to build WiX with msbuild, however my resulting Wix38.exe is ~10Mb vs.
the ~22Mb that is currently released.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I'm not quite sure what. It didn't
install Votive either.
I tried doing the msbuild /p:Configuration=Release
/p:OFFICIAL_WIX_BUILD=C:\wix.snk but it says I don't have all versions of VS (I
only have 2010 and 2012 installed).
Thanks,
Levi
