In the case of WiX v3's NetFx extension, the source is basically here (from
the base directory of the sources):

src\ext\NetFxExtension

In that folder, the C++ CA DLL is built in the "ca" folder, the WiX library
used by light is built in the "wixlib" folder, and the extension DLL that
embeds the outputs of the two previous folders is the "wixext" folder. And
the build ultimately builds them in that order.

The CA DLL uses the .h and .lib files you will find in the "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Windows Installer XML v3\SDK" ( or "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer
XML v3\SDK" if your system isn't 64-bit Windows) in the inc and lib folders.
The build script is the NetFxExtension.build (a NANT script) file.

The library and extension DLL are built using *proj files controlled by the
ext.sln file.

Subject: [WiX-users] Wix Source Query

Hi: 

I was browsing the wix source, as I'm trying to write an extension to
integrate with another development environment. I was particularly
interested in the .net extension as it seems to use a custom action dll.

What I carn't seem to find though looking at the projects is where this
ca dll is built.

Also will wix compile with the windows 7 sdk?

Any help appreciated.

Sean.
