Yes. The WiX toolset (wix36.exe or the old WiX v3.5 MSI) installs the wix.targets and WixTasks.dll and other things appropriately so they "just work". Or you could use the binaries.zip file like someone pointed out with a link to the documentation how. On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 12:43 PM, Dan Muller

I don't know what I was doing but I had tried msbuild but must have supplied the wrong argument. My problem now is that there is no w.target in my C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3.6\bin directory.
