Hi all,
I found the issue and fixed it. The issue was under each .wixproj file the
value of $(WixToolPath) was referring to older version of Wix (.i.e 3.5)
WixToolPath$(ProgramFiles)\Windows Installer Xml
v3.5\bin\/WixToolPath
I re-visited each individual projects unloaded it, edit the .wixproj file
and change the value to
WixToolPath$(ProgramFiles)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\/WixToolPath
By doing this all project are able to build, but at the end i am getting
the following strange issues
*Error 427 The Windows Installer XML variable 'WixUICostingPopupOptOut' is
declared in more than one location. Please remove one of the declarations.
C:\src\wix38\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\Common.wxs 18 1 XInstall**Error*
*430* *The Windows Installer XML variable 'WixUICostingPopupOptOut' is
declared in more than one location. Please remove one of the declarations.*
*C:\src\wix38\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\Common.wxs* *18* *1* *Installer*
i scanned my whole machine but couldn't find file *Common.wxs* and in
addition under Installer.wxs file there is a variable declared as:
*WixVariable Id=WixUICostingPopupOptOut Value=1 Overridable=yes /*
while googling i found the above mentioned error

Hi all,
I am working on task which includes upgrading Visual Studio 2010 to 2013
as well as upgrading WiX 3.5 to WiX 3.8. I have the basic knowledge of WiX
and i am not the expertise as such.
Conversion of .NET projects were successful, however in case of WiX
projects conversion from 3.5 to 3.8 i have outlined the following steps:
1. Locally install WiX 3.8
2. Get latest source code from Source Control.
3. Open the solution file in Visual Studio 2013.
4. Right click on .Wixproj file and click upgrade.
Now all the projects are upgraded to latest version of .Net 4.5/4.5.1.
When i tried to build the solution i am getting the following error for all
wix projects (below mentioned is a sample error list for reference)
Error 104 The specified task executable location C:\Program Files
(x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin\candle.exe is invalid. C:\Program
