I had a build engineer report a problem running post build validation on 64bit windows 7 the other day. I jumped on the machine and ran orca ( it elevated ) and validation worked fine. I noticed UAC was enabled so the developer disabled UAC and the build started working.
I was a little suprised because we use buildforge and I thought the build agent ran as a service where the service account was in the local administrators group and wouldn't be effected by UAC since it was a service but I guess it is.

Wix 3.0 Smoke reported only the expected warnings. No errors. So presumably, whatever the problem is, it affects only light.exe. Tried 3.5, but I haven't figured out how to get it to play with Visual Studio 2008. My install projects all come up disabled. (Votive in 3.5?) Probably a case of 'stupid user', but I'm under time pressure here. So right now I'm back on 3.0, and using "Supress ICE Validation" for all build configurations's. Seems to be the only way right now. I may figure out a way to add a 'smoke' pass later.
