sigh,

Okay here is what I did... wiped the wix source regot the RTM 3.8 source DID
NOT TOUCH the source

Rebuilt it as:
call "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe"
.\tools\OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj /p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0
call "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe" wix.proj
/p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0 /p:Configuration=Release

Opened one of my Bootstrapper projects, removed the reference to
WixBalExtension_Original.dll (the original WixBalExtension.dll that was
installed with the Wix38.exe)
Copied the newly built WixBalExtensionl.dll (oops did that before I opened
the project)
tried to add the reference and it fails complaining:
"A Reference to C:\Program Files (x86)\WIX Toolset
v3.8\bin\\WixBalExtension.dll could not be added. Please  make sure that the
file is accessible, and that it is a valid WIX reference. "

okay I tried to create a new Bootstrapper project, then tried to compile it
and it complained:

Error   1       Could not load file or assembly 'wix, Version=3.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=36e4ce08b8ecfb17' or one of its
dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.        candle.exe      
0       1
Bootstrapper3


What am I doing wrong??

thanks,

Steve
