How many CPU cores on the machine you're building from the command line? Visual Studio forces serialize build, but the default for msbuild from the command line is to thread the build with the number of CPU cores. If you don't have your project references and dependencies just right, this will break things as you described. To check, pass /m:1 to msbuild on the command line run. If this fixes the problem, then it is a reference/dependency issue and you'll need to serialize the build until you get it fixed. -- John Merryweather Cooper Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix project error in TFS build Hmm... I already have a project reference in my SetupProject to a CSharpProject. Visual Studio already shows the dependency checked and doesn't let me change it. The solution builds fine in Visual Studio but not on the command line (msbuild). Edwin G.
