A bit more details. Wix 3.6.3303.1 works just fine on the same project. Something got broke with Wix3.7. Haven't quite figured out what yet.
The Wix 3.7.1224.0 build is the one that fails. The RC 3.7.1119.0 fails differently: The "ReadRegistry" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Program Files\MSBuild\..\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\WixTasks.dll. Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\WixTasks.dll' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, and that the assembly and all its dependencies are available. C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\wix200x.targets I did get error message on another machine with Wix 3.7.1224.0 installed from VS2008: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: devenv.exe Problem Signature 02: 9.0.30729.1 Problem Signature 03: 488f2b50 Problem Signature 04: mscorlib Problem Signature 05: 2.0.0.0 Problem Signature 06: 503f022f Problem Signature 07: 1c8b Problem Signature 08: b Problem Signature 09: System.BadImageFormatException OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.4 Locale ID: 1033 Additional information about the problem: LCID: 1033 ----- Ed -----Original Message----- From: Maillet, Ed Sent: Friday, December 28, 2012 11:09 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Wix 3.7 Woes with VS2008 Hey all, I'm trying to build an existing wixproj in VS2008 that was created using Wix3.5. When I build in Visual Studio, Visual Studio simple dies (ie. The process gets removed from the process list and the UI disappears from the screen). When I build using devenv from the command-line, I do get an error message: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\candle.exe' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. I made of copy of the code base and upgraded it to VS2012. Building in VS2012 works just fine. Unfortunately, doing that upgrade for real isn't an option in the actual code base. I have .NET 4.5 installed on the machine and it's Windows 7 SP1. ----- Ed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
