IIRC, (this is not my area of expertise) Votive is supposed to upgrade the project file on opening.
Is this path actually in your .wixproj or is it in the WiX .targets file? We have seen instances where editing the WiX .targets files will cause the Windows Installer to start treating them as "user data" which means the files don't get removed or updated. If you ever edited the WiX .targets file, you might double check to see that they were all updated correctly. Is anyone else seeing this problem or are upgrades going fine? ...or is no one upgrading yet? <smile/> On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 5:01 AM, Neil Sleightholm <n...@x2systems.com>wrote: > I have just updated to the WiX 3.5 Release Candidate and when I open an > existing WiX 3.0 project and build it I get this error: > > > > "Error 1 The specified task executable location > "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\candle.exe" is > invalid.
