I seem to recall that suppor for 2005 was dropped a couple years ago.

It works perfectly fine for 2008 and 2010 (although since the solution file is 2005, it does a conversion first). I'm running Windows 7 64-bit SP1 with Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2005. When installing Wix, it does not show me any errors and reports that installation completed successfully, and I can see it that with its installation progress, it does registration with VS2005. I've tried with several different Wix builds ever since 3.6 was released, and none have worked. I don't need it installed at the moment and can do some work just by editing the xml files individually since other people here at work have 3.6 installed and have it working (both Windows 7 and XP), but I will need it soon. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may be? -Naim Kingston ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
