FYI: this worked for me:

-          run the tools\OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj elevated

-          Msbuild root/wix.proj /p:VisualStudioVersion="11.0"

Although I got one warning:

"C:\_Wix3_8\wix.proj" (default target) (1) ->
"C:\_Wix3_8\src\votive\votive.proj" (default target) (136) ->
"C:\_Wix3_8\src\votive\sconce\sconce2010.csproj" (default target) (137) ->
(ResolveAssemblyReferences target) ->

Need to run the tools\OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj elevated once before 
building.

For building WiX 3.8,
http://wix.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/0d2dcecc9a8a#src/chm/html/building_wix.htm
is the latest instructions, from my changeset. I think the 
GenerateWixInclude.exe failure will be due to strong name issues - you'll need 
to use sn.exe to skip it.
