That was it, thank you very much. I will be documenting the things I find on my blog but will also try to update the WiX help file in the near future.
I will also see if there is some way to automate this.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building signed WiX Source In src\Votive\sconce\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs you'll see the key tokens for the last couple keys we've used. You'll need your own in there to make your own "official build" of Votive. Thanks for the reminder Simon. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 09:51 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building signed WiX Source I am not sure I follow, I can't use the same key that is yours and you don't ship the private part (quite correctly) and if you use the public key you can't run the code. The build process allows you to supply your own key via OFFICIAL_WIX_BUILD then everything is signed with my key. I can see this code everywhere even in WixBuild.Common.targets which is used by the Votive build.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building signed WiX Source That's it! I totally forgot about this. You have to use the same public key token (or modify the build system to use your public key token) or the InternlsVisibleTo won't match up. Been so long since we changed the keys that I forgot about this step. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Dahlbacka [mailto:simon.dahlba...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 00:24 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building signed WiX Source from the error message, a plausible explanation is the key used is one that is used is also used in an InternalsVisibleToAttribute and the code takes advantage of this On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 9:48 AM, Neil Sleightholm <n...@x2systems.com> wrote: > Is it possible it only works because you are using an official Microsoft key and that gives permissions to load something else?
