I issue the build from Visual Studio and it is undoubtedly calling MSBuild under the covers but I am not sure how to coerce Visual Studio to give up more information than the information about the exception. Also it doesn't happen all the time. I could get this exception with Visual Studio and then go to a command prompt and invoke MSBuild manually and it would work. Most of the time just restarting Visual Studio causes it to work. It is one of those intermittent errors that when they happen you wish you had the debug information available because repeating it does not cause the error.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Light OutOfMemory? Which version of WiX v3.5? We didn't start dropping .pdbs until WiX v3.6. However, actually, I don't think we need them. Is there more information available about the crash? There should be a callstack. If you're running from MSBuild, turn logging on, the stack trace should be in there.
