Rob, Are there known votive issues other then it's not wired up to VS2013 yet? The reason I ask is because I just setup a VM with VS2013 and WiX 3.7 and was able to perform a few file copies and devenv /setup (may not be needed, will reproduce to confirm ) and get the WiX VSIX package to load in VS2012. I just created a setup project and built an MSI. Not full testing but it seems possible barring any other issues.
Perhaps there are other issues and you know this and have left it out of the installer until it's stable?

Getting into Votive can be daunting. I'm not much help because I basically know nothing about Votive, I've never worked on it (except to fix build breaks due to the crazy InternalsVisibleTo attributes I wish weren't there). That's why I suggested people could help in other areas. If there were volunteers helping to fix every single other bug *except* Votive stuff then we'd be in a much better place. Bob calls it pretty straight in his blog post: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2013/09/13/getting-from-here-to-there-for-wix-v3-8 /- "There are no code pixies". Anyway, my fundamental point is: We will make progress. However, if you're not helping to fix issues, regularly pinging about progress isn't going to taken kindly. PS: I hope the underlying message isn't lost at the end of this thread. I'll probably need to distill it down to a blog post. Again, thank you to all of you who have contributed here by answering questions, sending good bug reports, and, best of all, sending bug fixes and generally helping improve the WiX toolset. You guys are great. Thanks. On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 5:50 PM, Christopher Painter <chr...@iswix.com>wrote: > > Rob, > > What's the LOE for this effort?
