If you are using the MSBUILD capabilities on your build servers, update the command line in the build to provide a verbose output, you should be able to see what the problem in the log.
We noticed that in 2010 that sometimes there are dependency issues, and if that is the case (ie, the missing dll is built after your wix project), you need to update the configuration in the VS2010 project to manually set the dependency. I think we ended up with 2 manual dependencies in our projects to finally make the problem go away. -----Original Message----- From: ansariwn [mailto:w.ans...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 11:29 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Wix project error in TFS build Hi, I am building a solution that contains a Wix v3.6 project on Team Foundation Server (TFS 2010). The solution also contains some other class library projects. The TFS build is unsuccessful with the following error: light.exe : error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file 'Path\assembly.dll' with type ''. I have checked that the file (assembly.dll) in question, it does exists at the given path. The file in question is actually the output of another project in the solution. Apart from this file there are other files that are successfully found by WIX project build in the same path location. Can somebody tell me why is this happening? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Wix-project-error-in-TFS-build-tp6508973p6508973.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
