I have been made aware of WIX by virtue of trying to use OSSBUILDS to build gstreamer for Windows. I followed the instructions at http://code.google.com/p/ossbuild/source/browse/trunk/ReadMe.txt#, which apparently worded for the gstreamer build team and for others who have followed them.
The ultimate question, of course, is how do I fix this? Now for the details :) My environment: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM Installed Edition: Professional Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 91605-270-9322831-60449 Windows Installer XML Toolset 3.5 Windows Installer XML Toolset 3.5.2430.0 VMDebugger In particular, the readme gave this instruction: (Download and install) Windows Installer XML (WiX) 3.5 or later (e.g. http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.5.2222.0/Wix35.msi) Apparently version 3.5.2222 no longer (never?) exists, so I downloaded 3.5.2430 and got the owner of the readme.txt to update it. Now, after completing all the other build prep and actual build steps, I still have 30 remaining errors all of which are CNDL0307 errors and look similar to this: 10>------ Build started: Project: Plugins-Farsight2, Configuration: Release x86 ------ 10> C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin\candle.exe -sw1101 -sw1102 -dTOP=..\..\..\..\..\..\..\ -dAppRoot=..\..\..\..\ -dInstallRoot=..\..\..\ -d"DevEnvDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\\" -dSolutionDir=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\ -dSolutionExt=.sln -dSolutionFileName=GStreamer.sln -dSolutionName=GStreamer -dSolutionPath=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\GStreamer.sln -dConfiguration=Release -d"OutDir=..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Deployment\GStreamer\Windows\x86\Merge Modules\\" -dPlatform=x86 -d"ProjectDir=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\Main\GStreamer\Windows\Install\Merge Modules\Plugins\Farsight2\\" -dProjectExt=.wixproj -dProjectFileName=Plugins-Farsight2.wixproj -dProjectName=Plugins-Farsight2 -d"ProjectPath=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\Main\GStreamer\Windows\Install\Merge Modules\Plugins\Farsight2\Plugins-Farsight2.wixproj" -d"TargetDir=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\Deployment\GStreamer\Windows\x86\Merge Modules\\" -dTargetExt=.msm -dTargetFileName=x86-OSSBuild-GStreamer-Plugins-Farsight2.msm -dTargetName=x86-OSSBuild-GStreamer-Plugins-Farsight2 -d"TargetPath=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\Deployment\GStreamer\Windows\x86\Merge Modules\x86-OSSBuild-GStreamer-Plugins-Farsight2.msm" -dPlugins-Farsight.Configuration=Release -d"Plugins-Farsight.FullConfiguration=Release|x86" -dPlugins-Farsight.Platform=x86 -d"Plugins-Farsight.ProjectDir=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\Main\GStreamer\Windows\Install\Merge Modules\Plugins\Farsight\\" -dPlugins-Farsight.ProjectExt=.wixproj -dPlugins-Farsight.ProjectFileName=Plugins-Farsight.wixproj -dPlugins-Farsight.ProjectName=Plugins-Farsight -d"Plugins-Farsight.ProjectPath=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\Main\GStreamer\Windows\Install\Merge Modules\Plugins\Farsight\Plugins-Farsight.wixproj" -d"Plugins-Farsight.TargetDir=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\Deployment\GStreamer\Windows\x86\Merge Modules\\" -dPlugins-Farsight.TargetExt=.msm -dPlugins-Farsight.TargetFileName=x86-OSSBuild-GStreamer-Plugins-Farsight.msm -dPlugins-Farsight.TargetName=x86-OSSBuild-GStreamer-Plugins-Farsight -d"Plugins-Farsight.TargetPath=S:\Software\gstreamer\ossbuild-read-only\Deployment\GStreamer\Windows\x86\Merge Modules\x86-OSSBuild-GStreamer-Plugins-Farsight.msm" -out obj\Release\ -arch x86 -ext ..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Shared\WiX\OSSBuildExtensions.dll Plugins-Farsight2.wxs obj\Release\Product.Generated.wxs obj\Release\_Plugins-Farsight.wxs 10>candle.exe(0,0): error CNDL0307: Either 'Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.AssemblyDefaultWixExtensionAttribute' was not defined in the assembly or the type defined in extension '..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Shared\WiX\OSSBuildExtensions.dll' could not be loaded. 10>Done building project "Plugins-Farsight2.wixproj" -- FAILED.
