Thank you.
That is the same page that I referenced earlier in this thread. My question is
about the quote in this article that states:
"The easiest way to create a new .wixproj for your installer is to WiX
in Visual Studio because it automatically generates standard msbuild project
files"
I am not sure how to take a 2.0 proj file and move it to 3.0 using the "easiest
way".

The url is split in the email, make sure it ends .htm (see 2 in your reply).

It is definitely there - the url may have word wrapped, the page end .htm. Same
topic is in the help file "Creating a .wixproj File".

The documentation states:
"The easiest way to create a new .wixproj for your installer is to WiX in
Visual Studio because it automatically generates standard msbuild project files"
I have a project file that I have been using for a number of years with WiX
2.0. I want to "convert" the project file to use WiX 3.0 libraries as well as
the converted .wxs file. My project currecntly looks like:

How would I convert this to use 3.0? What has changed with 3.0?
