That certainly works from the command line.
But doesn't using the msbuild 'Compile' target. The only way to make it
work is to set the "CompileObjOutput" item to a value that has a trailing
slash...ie, a directory. But if I do that, if I follow the call to the
"Compile" target with a call to the "Lib" target, the "Lib" target aborts
because it uses "CompileObjOutput" as part of its input.
So maybe my issue isn't with candle at all but rather the wix.targets' "Lib"
target.
Thanks for your help!

as the -out parameter is optional, can't you just leave it out?
