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.

Line breaks are still missing in Votive 3.0.3725.0.
Actually warning and error messages are missing too.
AFAIK last votive version where this works fine is the last officially
released (on sourceforge site) version: 3.0.2925.

If i uninstall version 3.0.3725 and install 3.0.2925 then line breaks and
messages are fine.

I have this problem in Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 2000 SP4. Do anybody
has this problem in another version of Windows or in Visual Studio 2008?

There is another bugreports on this issue: 1867711, 1821966. But it looks
like noone of developers use Votive at all. Or maybe problem is in OS
version? I guess not many people are using Windows 2000 today.

I've the same problem, the last version i know that it works was
3.0.2526.0.
When i've upgraded to 3.0.3419.0 the problem occurs. The messages were
displayed in details in the "Error List" but not in the "Output" window.

When devenv.exe called on commandline "devenv.exe solutionname.sln /build
/log logfilename.log"
Only the error code and the position of the error occured 

"C:\path\to\file.wxs(90,0)Error LGHT0083:"

The next error would  be appended in the same line so the message was all
in one line it's not very readable.

I was able to reproduce the problem on more than 10 machines so i would
guess it is not a config problem of the machines.
