When trying to build an "official build" to get strong name signing I followed the steps in http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/wixdev/building_wix.html
"C:\Dev\SetupCommon\WIX_ToolSet_v3.8\wix.proj" (default target) (1) -> (CheckRequiredProperties target) -> C:\Dev\SetupCommon\WIX_ToolSet_v3.8\tools\WixBuild.Tools.targets(66,5): error WIXBUILD000: All versions of VS and VS SDK are required on an official build. Install VS2008, VS2010, VS2012, VS2013, and matching SDKs. [C:\Dev\SetupCommon\WIX_ToolSet_v3.8\wix.proj] 0 Warning(s) 1 Error(s) Why do I need VS2008 / VS2013 I only use 2010 (once in a blue moon) 99.9 percent of all installs/bootsrappers projects are created in VS2012... II am doing this so the build VM's can compile the MSI's and Bootstrappers... but got this error when running the binaries I built on my dev machine: $/Core Technologies/Main/Setup/TMC_Client_Setup/TMC_Client_Setup.sln - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\wix2010.targets (1176): The "ResolveWixReferences" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\\WixTasks.dll.

(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A) Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
