It seems the real bug then is that there are two code paths... VB/C/C+ + should be implemented via the MPF stuff as well... then this never would have happened. I say this still not knowing what MPF stands for or anything about it though.

No, other projects that are not based on the MPF (which includes VB/ C#/C++) do not lock because they do not have that bug. However, projects that are based on the MPF (IronPython, if I remember correctly) do exhibit the same bug that WiX has. This bug, in my mind, is one of the most annoying ones that should have higher priority (along with the other one that you pointed out - same line output). Thanks for the bug reports!

I hate the locking as well. Unfortunately, this is a bug in the MPF (the Visual Studio SDK) that they have not fixed yet. We will have to just fix it on our own instead of waiting for a fix from them. Note that it's not a trivial fix either because it requires a separate thread to do the build.

Are you saying that other tasks like compiling and linking C/C++ code lock things the same way.. but I assume for short enough periods of time that it isn't noticeable? I'm just wondering why I only notice this with WiX projects.
