I didn't see any replies to this. I'm having the same problem. I figured out the cause, but I'm not sure on what to do for a solution. The problem is that windows does a redirect to the syswow64 folder, and the applicationHost.config file doesn't exist there. So it can't be accessed by anything running in 32-bit. I'm using wix version 3.0.4721.0. Anyone have any suggestions?
