I have heat.exe from Wix 3.8.1128.0 (RTM) working well against many, many C++ projects using the VS2010 Toolset. Running heat.exe from Wix 3.8 against C++ projects that have been upgraded to the VS 2013 Toolset always gives the following error:
Error 53 Build error during harvesting: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.Targets(518,5): Specified platform toolset (v120) is not installed or invalid. Please make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is selected. heat.exe 0 1 TestMergeWix Looking at the "Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.Targets(518,5)" line I see that it is expecting to find a "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\PlatformToolsets\v120" subfolder for the VS2013 (V12.0) Toolset and sure enough it is not there. I wondered if that subfolder was supposed to be installed by Wix 3.8 and wasn't on my machine because VS2013 had not been installed until after Wix 3.8 was installed, so I removed Wix 3.8 and re-installed it but still that subfolder was not created. Should VS2013 or Wix 3.8 have installed "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\PlatformToolsets\v120"? Or is something else going wrong here?
