The latest WiX toolset was just built on Saturday. Your deep in Votive and MSBuild territory. Neither place I'm strong. It is also some of the more dark and twisty places.

I have followed Neil Sleightholm's blog entry on creating a Wix build machine, which is a pretty good article. Therefore I *should* have all the prerequisites in place to build WIX, however, my build is still failing whilst compiling Votive. The log reveals: [exec] Target VsTemplatePathsTarget: [exec] C:\code\sharedlibs\upstream\Wix\cvs\wix\src\votive\SDK_VS2008\Tools\Buil d\Microsoft.VsSDK.targets(348,5): error MSB4062: The "VsTemplatePaths" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\code\sharedlibs\upstream\Wix\cvs\wix\src\votive\SDK_VS2008\Tools\Buil d\Microsoft.VsSDK.Build.Tasks.dll.

[exec] 3 Warning(s) [exec] 1 Error(s) Does anybody have a clue as to what could be causing this error? I see that a post was made on the mailing list mid-last year by somebody else, with a similar error, but there was no response. I am hoping for better luck this time! At least can somebody please confirm that the CVS head for WIX compiles at the moment?
