Summary: WIX error messages not displayed in Visual Studio

Initial Comment:
(sorry, but I'm not sure I have the right category?)

Using Visual Studio 2005, and the latest wix installer (this has been true for 
about 6 months I think; I'm now using 3.0.3530.0).

When an error causes a WIX build to fail - I see the error#, but not the 
detailed description of what when wrong (like line/file etc).

So - I have to copy from the Visual Studio output window the commandline 
executed (e.g. light.exe xxxx)
and run that from the command-line to see the actual error message.

I've seen this behavior on both of the two development computers I test with, 
so it doesn't appear likely to be an installation / configuration problem on my 
end.
