I'm trying to update/fix a custom action that's included in the
WixUtilExtension DLL. Once I've implemented/tested the fix I'll send it for
code review/integration into Wix.
So do I need this private key in order to do this? Or is there some other way
to modify the custom action in WixUtilExtension and test it in my own MSI?

building latest v3 of Wix (darice problem)
Any particular reason you’re trying to build it instead of using a nightly
build? Is there a pending bug you need to build a custom version of Wix for? Or
are you contributing fixes to the project?
I’m not a wix dev, nor do I play one on TV, but unless you’re needing to build
it a lot long-term or have some other compelling reason, it’s really not worth
the extensive set-up required to do a build. I did notice that occasionally
needed files fall out and back into the source archives, but the run-time .msi
installer is always pretty solid.
Note that Wix binaries (at least last year when I was trying to build it due to
a small bug we were running into, now fixed) are signed, or strong-named, or
whatever (I’m not too keen on the terminology) and if you don’t have their
private key (which you don’t) you won’t be successful in building and
distributing your installers to outside entities or other machines. Or at least
that was my experience.

Doing that got my farther. My goal is to get WixUtilExtension.dll working. I
see that it got built, but when I tried to reference it from my MSI (which is
built in VS2005 with Votive) I get the error: candle.exe(0,0): Error
CNDL0144: The extension 'D:\WixV3\Release\debug\WixUtilExtension.dll' could not
be loaded.The only other interesting points are:- I'm using build 3015- My
build still fails, but at the Votive section which I'm choosing not to build.
Perhaps I need to build Votive too? Any help in getting this to work is
appreciated. Thanks,Kevin

I had to manually copy daruice.cub, mergemod.cub, & mergemod.dll to
src/light/bin on build 3001 to get the build to work. The zip step of the
build also wanted ProjectAggregator2.msi in the Release\debug (for a debug
build), but the wix msi is already created at this point.
I am very new to WiX and perhaps I too am missing something that a more
experienced user can explain.
Thanks,
Tim

Problems building latest v3 of Wix (darice problem)
I downloaded the latest release of WiX v3 and am running into build errors. I
have the specified version of Nant and Visual Studio 2005 installed. I'm
running the command: make full debug This gave an error about wix.targets not
being found in Release\debug. I found the file in src\WixTasks and copied it
there. This "fixed" that error. If I run "make full debug" again, I now get
the error: Could not find file 'D:\WixV3\src\light\bin\darice.cub' to
copy.The verbose log leading up to that looks like: dark:light.inc: [copy]
Copying 1 file to 'D:\WixV3\Release\debug\light.exe.config'. [copy] Copying
