Hi,
I'm not subscribed to dev list, so I'll try it here:
wix200x.targets is missing in 3.5 binaries zip file.
perhaps you can add this before 3.5 release.
See following patch from my local hg clone
# HG changeset patch
# User gudedo1
# Date 1288789478 -3600
# Branch wix35
# Node ID 5adec60d77
Hi,
until rob implements this in 3.6 you might give nsis a try.

Hi,
1) the first warning could be ignored safely. This only means that

(This is common for most MSMs)
The other errors are from an "old" crystal msm. There was a similar thread

Basically, I know that the following registry key contains the directory
I want and that it is consistent over Excel 2002/XP, Excel 2003 and
Excel 2007 (same GUID for all three versions).

The Component/@Guid="*" is the valid way to auto generate GUIDs. There is

Hi folks,
I'm using the new heat dir crawler with following options:
heat.exe dir -ag -ke ...
this will add Guid="*" for empty directories. (see below)
But this is not valid for autogenerated Guids.
My solution is currently to remove the asterisk and use an empty GUID.

Hi folks,
adding the culture to the output file is a nice feature, if you have more
than one language to maintain.
In our case this is somewhat disturbing. We use standard wix dialogs wher we
change the font size with localized values. Therefore it is required to add
a wxl file.
This results in

Hi,
as Heath stated it's hardcoded. :(
But MS provided a vbs script (I couldn't find the link anymore)
We are using it on regular basis until we switch to wix, since the msi file
properties could not be set easily with wise installer in an automated
build.
