I thought people on this list might be interested in this:

After further investigation, it's not pulling anything from the
CustomAction.wxs file at all, even if I introduce new properties. For a
while, even adding something to Product.wxs was not getting picked up. I
rebooted my PC and that's at least fixed, so now I can add everything to

I am creating a wix v3 project that will be built with x86 and x64 platforms.
It builds fine with x86, but it is giving me the following error when I

Just in case anyone else if following this, it doesn't work! Well actually most
