Try running as local system from the command line with SysInternals PsExec https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
I think it is psexec -S cmd.exe (or powershell depending on your needs). Then try running heat again and see what permissions issues you are getting. Also try looking in other folders for tmp4869.tmp. Could be a hardcoded path somewhere that doesn't evaluate %TEMP% properly. Stephen Tunney Nuance Communications, Inc.

The build agent runs as a Windows service that runs under the LocalSystem account. I consistently received the following error: HarvestDirectory: ..\..\Tools\WiX\Heat.exe dir ..\..\Build\WiX\Release -cg WebComponents -dr INSTALLDIR -ke -scom -sreg -ag -sfrag -out obj\Release\_WebComponents_dir.wxs heat.exe : error HEAT0001: Could not find file 'C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp4869.tmp'. When I tried running that command line in a normal interactive session, it completed successfully. When I switched the build agent to run under a domain user account rather than LocalSystem, the build completed successfully, so it seems like there is some kind of problem running the WiX tools under a LocalSystem service. This sounds very much like this issue: http://wixtoolset.org/issues/4596/ Has anyone else run into this? Thanks, Dan *Dan Ports* Vice President of Technology, Intrigma Inc.
