Take a look at your solution level configuration options. My guess is that 'Any CPU' is setup to only build C#/VB/etc projects. You probably have a 'Mixed Platforms' configuration that also includes the WiX projects. My guess is that the IDE is choosing 'Mixed Platforms' as the default while building rather than 'Any CPU'.
