I installed Visual Studio 2013 Professional and then downloaded and installed Wix Toolset 3.8. From within VS -> Help -> About , I see "Windows Installer XML Toolset 3.8.1128.0". If I choose New -> Project, I see the "Windows Installer XML" node with seven different options like "Setup Project", etc. I believe that I have Wix Toolset installed correctly. I have .Net 3.5 installed, which includes .Net 3.0 and .Net 2.0, so I think the Wix .Net dependency is satisfied.
I am now trying to use the "Creating a Simple Setup" tutorial at http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/votive/authoring_first_votive_project.html and I'm not getting very far. I would really appreciate it if someone would point out my mistake. The problem is with Step 2 - #5 of the Simple Setup tutorial: I am trying to add the reference, but can't find what I need to add. I navigate to the projects tab as instructed, but that window is empty so I cannot select the "MyApplication" project. I tried to continue by manually browsing for a file, but none of the files associated with MyApplication will satisfy Wix Add Reference. My questions are: 1) Shouldn't I be able to manually browse to a file to add the reference to Wix? 2) If so, what VS file should I be trying to add as a reference? Is it the VS Solution file (.sln) a debug file or something else? 3) Why do my VS projects not show up under the "Projects" tab in Wix -> Add Reference?
