Is VS installed on your build server? I have found that this is required for 
C++ projects, at one point MS did include the C++ tools and libs in the SDK but 
then removed them in the Windows 8 version. This is a bit of pain as I don't 
like the idea of polluting my build server with VS.

Oh great.  It seems I did have RTM on my dev laptop and RC on my build server.  
Now that I upgrade my build server to RTM  I can't build my C++ project on my 
build server or the cloud hosted build server.

Something seems really wrong if I can't just create a C++ project, check it in 
and tell it to build.  Builds on my machine....

Any thoughts?   Off to research.

Oh wait, nevermind.  I'm all wrong.  I have  RC installed on my dev machine and 
build server.   I forgot to upgrade them.  Let me do that and retest.

Subject: Build C++ Custom Actions on Hosted TFS Build Controller Fails

I created a C++ custom action project using WiX 3.8 and VS2013.  It builds on 
my on-prem build server with VS2013 installed but fails to build on the Hosted 
TFS Build Controller.

FWIW, I also created a stock C++ project and it has the same behavior so it 
doesn't seem to be a WiX problem per say.

Now according to this page:

http://tfs.visualstudio.com/en-us/learn/hosted-build-controller-in-vs#software

VS 2013 RTM is supposed to be installed on the build server.   I'm not the best 
C++ developer in the world so I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on the 
following build error.  It might be possible that WiX modeled it's project type 
after something that was broken and could be made better as a result of this.
