Those two dlls are part of the Expression Blend Studio (which I have very little experience with). However so far as I am aware, Visual Studio and Blend are only deployed to 32 bit environments (x86 or WOW64) and the .Net applications which consume those dlls should be compiled in Visual Studio as

Hi Phil, I checked all the files one by one & i couldn't find any difference. When i made the installer using InstallShiled LE the application is working fine on both Windows 8/8.1 32/64 bits. When i try the installer from WIX, i'm getting the following error in the log files.

Hi Phil, Great explanation & thank you. First, I agree with you that I didn't target the x64 bit and I didn't define the @Win64 properly but when i tried the installer on Windows 8 32 bit i had the same problem. Second, I agree with you that the dependencies for Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.

Others have provided good advice which should allow you to resolve the problem. From an application perspective I would collect the same files in the same folder tree that your wix installer is collecting, and manually copy them to a PC which has never been touched by Visual Studio (or Blend). Pu

Hi Walter, I have compared each and every file and it's exactly the same. I have no idea how to debug this. In my understanding the build manager settings could be wrong or the WIX codes may be wrong. - Wix 3.8 users -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-tools

So you have compared every single file installed between the InstallShield install and the WiX install and they're the same? Same for any registry settings? I'm not likely to be able to help you, but if you don't tell the WiX-smart guys here what you've done and what you've found, they're not goi
