That DLL is deliberately not listed separately in wix.ca.targets. It should
always get pulled in automatically as one of the detected dependencies of your
CA assembly.
What is the output from MakeSfxCA.exe when it doesn't include that DLL? It
should say something like:
Loaded dependent assembly:
c:\path\to\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll
Did you install Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll to the GAC? That
might explain why it didn't get picked up -- dependencies resolved to the GAC
are assumed to be part of a separate prerequisite (like the .NET Framework or
other redistributable), and therefore are not included in the CA package.

Subject: [WiX-users] Bug in wix.ca.targets version 3.0.4318.0?
Hi,
I created a CA using version 3.0.4318.0 of WiX. When I ran the CA that was
built via an installer, I received the error "Failed to load assembly
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller. Error code 0x80070002". Upon checking
the C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.0\wix.ca.targets file that the CA
project template includes, MakeSfxCA.exe is called WITHOUT passing the
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll in as one of the dependencies to
bundle. When I modified the wix.ca.targets file, this issue was resolved.
Sorry if this issue has already been reported.
Cheers
