System Error 5 == ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
Something is probably locking the file, preventing the WiX toolset from
calculating the hash. Definitely could have a better error message (I *think*
there is one in WiX v3).

1. Yes, WiX is a relatively thin layer above MSI. Some people liken it to
assembly but I still think C/C++ is more appropriate. The only thing that
makes C++ reasonable is a wide range of libraries to help do some heavy lifting

I've just done that. Read what scarce documentation is available about WiX.

It is unlikely that the compiling/linking is taking a lot of time. .wixlibs
may help some but if the majority of your time is spent moving files around you
won't see a big win there. It is easy to use .wixlibs, just use "lit.exe" on a
bunch of .wixobjs then add the .wixlib on the command-line

Hi Chris
I can only second your opinion. It's almost unbelievable, how difficult even
the most common, primitive task is.
One has this long-honed professional developer instinct that constantly
tells you "there must be an easier way, I just have to find it". Believe me:
