Thanks for the reply. I guess you misunderstood my question - I am using VC2008 and .Net Framework 3.5, but when I build I got error message about missing VCProjectEngine and suggest to install VC2005 and .Net Framework 2.0.
*********************** Here is message: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.0\Wix.targets(0,0): warning MSB3421: Could not load the Visual C++ component "Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a". To fix this, 1) install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK or 2) install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. *************************** Here is my original email: I got this warning when build the Wix project which was created by using Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.5. It is looking for VCProjectEngine and Visual Studio 2005. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.0\Wix.targets(0,0): warning MSB3421: Could not load the Visual C++ component "Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a".

The system cannot find the file specified. As I mentioned, the Wix project is created in VS2008, and my Framework version is 3.5. Does anyone know where is wrong for getting this warning? By the way, I am using Wix 3.0.4513. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 29, 2008 9:09 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

If so, that's not supported (yet); doing so creates a dependency on .NET 3.5, which we don't otherwise require. > By the way, I am using Wix 3.0.4513. > I'd suggest trying this with the latest weekly build from http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
