I have a wixproj that uses HeatDirectory to build the file references I need
for an MSI. It is running fine on my machine, but failing on the build server,
which is running Team Foundation Server 2010's Team Build. I have not
installed WiX on the build server, but instead checked the files in and
reference them from there. I have included the
<RunWixToolsOutOfProc>true</RunWixToolsOutOfProc> element, but am still getting
'Unhandled Exception: System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or
assembly 'file:///C:\Builds\1\claw3x\Continuous
Integration\Sources\Builds\Common\Libraries\WiX 3.6\Heat.exe' or one of its
dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.'
I've tried different builds of 3.5 and 3.6 to no avail. I don't know where to
go from here. I'm including a portion of the .wixproj file to show how things
are setup...
