I have found the same and just haven't had time to document the
problems. There are loads of files missing from the source download, I
found the best thing to do was to get the CVS source as well and copy
the required files from there and also search for files on your local
system until it builds. Even then I couldn't get a full build to work
but it got me far enough to look and the main console applications and
extensions.
To get the CVS source install CVSNT and then use these two commands -
when it prompts for a password just hit enter:
"C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe"
-d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/wix login
"C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -z3
-d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/wix co -P wix
Good luck!

Subject: [WiX-users] Recent WIX sources will not build
I've been unable to resolve a problem I'm seeing trying
to build recent WIX sources. All documentation says to 'simply run
make.bat,' but I'm not seeing this succeed. I'm actually hit two
problems -
1)
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(2743,9)
: error MSB3021: Unable to copy file
"C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\darice.cub" to
"C:\WIX\SOURCES\build\debug\x86\darice.cub". Could not find file
'C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\darice.cub'.
[exec]
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(2743,9)
: error MSB3021: Unable to copy file
"C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\mergemod.cub" to
"C:\WIX\SOURCES\build\debug\x86\mergemod.cub". Could not find file
'C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\mergemod.cub'.
[exec]
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(2743,9)
: error MSB3021: Unable to copy file
"C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\mergemod.dll" to
"C:\WIX\SOURCES\build\debug\x86\mergemod.dll". Could not find file
'C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\mergemod.dll'.
[exec]
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(2743,9)
: error MSB3021: Unable to copy file
"C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\pyro\mspatchc.dll" to
"C:\WIX\SOURCES\build\debug\x86\mspatchc.dll". Could not find file
'C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\pyro\mspatchc.dll'.
If I manually copy these files from a download of the WIX binaries, I
circumvent this error. Instead I hit this:
2)
[cl] c:\users\jebremus\documents\visual studio
2008\projects\wix\src\dtf\tools\sfxca\precomp.h(32) : fatal error C1083:
Cannot open type library file: 'mscorlib.tlb': No such file or
directory.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a fix? Has
anyone been able to build recent WIX sources out of the box as
advertised? Thanks much.
