Further to my previous email I just pulled changes and found that 1. was
already done by Bruce Cran last week in changeset "(ac3822eb3ff8) Use
v110_xp instead of v110 for VS2012 to retain compatibility with XP".
Yet I believe 2. need to be done as well in order for burn.exe to be
able to run on XP machine.

Hi Guys,
Just to let you know that I managed to create a build of WiX v3.8
using VS2012 (Update1) and targeting XP.
Changes have to be made to several project files.
If you want I can provide diff file or commit my changes to a fork in
CodePlex.
Shortly I made following:
1. In tools/WixBuild.vcxproj.props changed <PlatformToolset>
definition from v110 to v110_xp for the condition VS2012Available.
2. In src/burn/stub/Stub.vcxproj added
<ProjectSubSystem>Windows</ProjectSubSystem> which makes linker to
properly assign minimum supported OS tag to the executable.
I suspect 2. should be applied to other C/C++ projects as well but not
sure to which ones and that is one of the reasons I did not make push
request.
Also there is one more project file with <PlatformToolset>
conditionally defined to v110 which probably needs a change to v110_xp
but even without it the resulting installer ran correctly on XP.
HTH!
Best regards,
B.

I "msbuild tools\WixRelease.relproj /p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0" I've
not tried an official build with the v11_xp changes yet since I'm
still getting VS Update 1 on the build machine (been sick last few
days <blech/>).
Thanks - that produces the .exe and .zip files - but it apparently still
isn't using v110_xp. I'll try moving the build to using property sheets.
