I'm not aware of a "wix.zip" file on the WiX toolset website. Did you download 
a different file perhaps? Or download from a different web site?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Cannot view RootView.xaml file in visual studio 2010

Ok I think I figured this one out.  Well what works for me.  
In case someone else runs into this problem here is what I did.

I downloaded the wix.zip file from the wix website and right clicked on the zip 
file went to properties and checked 'unblock'.
I then create a new wpf solution and named it TestBA. I then created two new 
wpf projects, one named TestBA and the other Core.  I then manually copied all 
files from the core project located under the src\ext\BalExtension\mba\core\ 
directory to my newly created Core project. 
Then I copied all files under the src\Setup\WixBA directoy to my newly created 
TestBA project directory. Now with all the files moved respectively under the 
each directory, I edited the namespaces for each project. I also updated the 
'suppress warnings'  and xml file documentation file in the core project 
properties and updated the reference assemblies to match the existing core 
project. And for the TestBA project I needed to update the namespace in the 
project properties as well as the references to match the existing WixBA 
project references.

So basically I needed to create a new solution file along with two wpf projects 
and add the source code manually.

Unless someone else can prove otherwise, I believe there is something 
inherently bad with WPF projects when zipped and shipped.  I'm not sure if its 
related to security or windows 7 security or possibly a bug within visual 
studio 2010.
