I've got the same error trying to build my WiX (Votive) setup project as part of my Team Build.
"light.exe(0,0): error LGHT0216: An unexpected Win32 exception with error code 0x659 occurred: This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator." The project builds fine if I run a desktop build and through VS2005. I've tried adding the DisableMSI registry key and setting the value to "0" and still no luck. I'm ready to disable validation -- problem is, I don't know how to do it. Using Votive (5/25/2007 release), how do I specify "-sval"?
