Hello all,
Because I wanted to remove the license agreement dialog from the Wix_Mondo
UI, I'm trying to build the WiX sources from scratch (to create a new
WixUIExtension.dll). However, I'm running into problems.
When building I run into the following error messages (core.inc):
[exec]
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(2825,9):
error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "D:\Data\
Projects\wixsrc\src\light\darice.cub" to

As you can see, I cannot build the src\light\light.csproj because of three
missing files (darice.cub, mergemod.cub and mergemod.dll). When opening
the projectfile in Visual Studio you can see that the files are missing
(exclamation mark is visible on the files). In addition to this,
src\pyro\pyro.csproj cannot be build because of the missing file
mspatchc.dll.
I tried to remove these files in the projects and build again, but no go.
This time I got the following error message:
checkRequiredArgs:
[mkdir] Creating directory
'D:\Data\Projects\wixsrc\build\obj\debug\x86\dtf\sfxca\x86'.
[cl] Compiling 1 files to

[cl] d:\data\projects\wixsrc\src\dtf\tools\sfxca\precomp.h(32) :

tlb': No such file or directory
I'm certain that I have all the prerequisites installed: Nant, Visual
Studio, Windows Server 2008 + .NET 3.5 SDK.
Has anyone out there actually succeeded in compiling WiX 3.0.43180? And if
so, can someone give me some pointers on how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Wilbert van Dolleweerd
