It was loading the wrong version. The problem seems to be that candle doesn't use relative paths with -ext, so it ends up reading the file from the WiX bin folder. If you specify a fully qualified path it works. Visual Studio sets the path to a relative path (e.g. -ext WixFirewallExtension.dll) and so it fails.
I can't seem to find any way to force Visual Studio to load the correct file.

I suspect Candle is loading the 3.0 version; try FusLogVw to verify. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
