Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset
Had similar issues when using an x64 MSBuild to build our WiX solutions. What we did to solve these issues: a) Reg key to the x86 path of the Wix Toolset SDK in Progam Files (x86). Should be a reg file containing something like (depending on your install paths + WiX Version): Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\WiX 3.6] @=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WiX Toolset v3.6\\SDK\\ AFAIR this is only needed to build DTF CAs. b) Force the WiX Build to run as x86 process -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

[WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset
I know there is probably a posting somewhere out on the web describing the issue I am having, but I am not able to find it at the present moment. The problem I am current having is that the 64 bit version of MS build does not properly evaluate the build variables and is not able to find WIX tools. The 32 bit version works correctly and everything is happy, but when I switch MS Build targets everything goes to pot. Does anyone have a way around this issue or a link to the documentation on why I am seeing this?

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset
MSBuild uses the AssemblySearchPaths property to determine the locations where it searches for assembly references. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb629394.aspx You could either set the HintPath for the reference OR you could add the location of Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll to AssemblySearchPaths with something like this: PropertyGroup AssemblySearchPaths C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin; $(AssemblySearchPaths) /AssemblySearchPaths /PropertyGroup Note that you could possibly shadow other assemblies you depend on if they exist in WiX's bin directory (or whatever appropriate directory you use). My guess as to why 32-bit MSBuild (on the command line, not through Visual Studio) is that AssemblySearchPaths must be getting set with 32-bit only path. Perhaps something like C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin which would only resolve for 32-bit processes... You can use the /verbose:diagnostic command line option to show you property values and a lot of other stuff you never cared about too!

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb629394.aspx You could either set the HintPath for the reference OR you could add the location of Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll to AssemblySearchPaths with something like this: PropertyGroup AssemblySearchPaths C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin; $(AssemblySearchPaths) /AssemblySearchPaths /PropertyGroup Note that you could possibly shadow other assemblies you depend on if they exist in WiX's bin directory (or whatever appropriate directory you use). My guess as to why 32-bit MSBuild (on the command line, not through Visual Studio) is that AssemblySearchPaths must be getting set with 32-bit only path. Perhaps something like C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin which would only resolve for 32-bit processes... You can use the /verbose:diagnostic command line option to show you property values and a lot of other stuff you never cared about too!
