No VS command prompt (they are too abstract for me <smile>) I just set the
msbuild path to "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe"
and build the wix.proj.
This means I get these environment variables:
VS100COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\Common7\Tools\
VS110COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
11.0\Common7\Tools\
VS80COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\
VS90COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\Common7\Tools\
VSEDEFLOGDIR=C:\ProgramData\McAfee\DesktopProtection
VSSDK100Install=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SDK\
I have a bunch of SDKs installed so if the build references the registry keys
for these that will probably be set.

Are you launching from a VS command prompt? If so, which one. My builds work
when I don't use VS command prompt for VS2010, VS2012 and VS2010+VS2012.
IIRC, that error happens when the VisualStudio property is not set correctly.

The first error in the log is this:
Project "D:\WiX\WiX3.8\Source\src\ca\ca.proj" is building

Please make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is selected.
Done building target "PlatformPrepareForBuild" in project
"wcautil.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
Then I get about 20 more followed by:
candle.exe : error CNDL0144: The extension
'D:\WiX\WiX3.8\Source\src\setup\ManagedSdkMsi\WixVSExtension' could not be
loaded because of the following reason: Could not load file or assembly
'file:///D:\WiX\WiX3.8\Source\src\setup\ManagedSdkMsi\WixVSExtension' or one of
its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Not sure if that helps.
I am building with this command line:
msbuild.exe wix.proj /l:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile=build.log

Can you provide more of the error message and what version of VS are you
building with? I'm struggling to get the code compiling in VS2010, VS2012 and
VS2010+VS2012. <sigh/>

Is that a problem with the build or a local configuration problem?
