Bah, turns out I needed to explicitly point to the msbuild in: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\
No other instance of MSBUILD.EXE works with this particular assembly. Why would the other WiX assemblies work out ok? Perhaps some bad .config value or compiler options for heat.exe?

Subject: [WiX-users] HeatDirectory MSBuild task dying with BadImageFormatException Hey everyone, Ok, I've added a BeforeBuild target in my wixproj to run heat on a directory using the HeatDirectory task. I see in my logs that msbuild is successfully calling lit, candle, etc. successfully but I get the following error from heat :( Thoughts?
