Hey all,
I have a custom Heat task, aka. a class derived from HeatTask. It works fine

A problem arises is under Wix3.6 and VS2012. When building in VS2012, the

Is the NETFX 3.5 installed on that machine? If so, can you try running
with fusion logging turned on? That should pinpoint the assembly causing
the problem.

Hey all,
I'm trying to figure out, in Visual Studio 2008, how to add a reference to an

Unless I misunderstand, you shouldn't need to build any part of Wix to make
your own compiler extension.
You can make an extension with custom tables and schema and your own targets
without have to build/re-build any of the Wix stuff.
