A quick check in dependency walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) of any of the WiX v3.0.5419.0 binaries shows them needing mscoree.dll version 2.0.50727.x so yes you need the .NET 2.0 Framework installed.

Subject: [WiX-users] Cannot start any WiX 3.0 tool I've set up a clean windows XP machine, installed MSVB5 on it, and WiX 3.0. I can use MSVB5 to create the EXEs which in a second step shall get packed into a MSI by WiX. But when I start any WiX tool (like CANDLE or HEAT) it tells me that it cannot initialize the tool. Maybe I have to install .NET to run WiX? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
