Hi. I upgraded my machine from Win XP to Windows 7 last weekend. My previously working WiX project fails now with this (rather obvious at first) error:
Error 77 The "GetLooseFileList" task failed unexpectedly. System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path. at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path) at System.IO.Path.Combine(String path1, String path2) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Build.Tasks.GetLooseFileList.Execute() at Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.TaskEngine.ExecuteInstantiatedTask(EngineProxy engineProxy, ItemBucket bucket, TaskExecutionMode howToExecuteTask, ITask task, Boolean& taskResult) File: C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.5\Wix.targets Line: 1979 Column: 6 Okay - the error seems to be easy to locate, except that - the sources are exactly the same - the file locations are exactly the same as far as I can tell Any idea how I can track this down? I shot myself in the foot with this one, because on Monday I was ordered to create a new (and unplanned for) release and desperately need to build this project. Thinking about recreating an XP environment because I'm totally lost here - but any insights, hints, suggestions would be appreciated.
