I don't know. Is the %WIX% environment variable set? I use the HarvestDirectory items instead of the PreBuildEvent property to use the harvester in 3.5 myself.

VS2010, Wix3.5, etc. Everything the same as the old machine. (both are x64 Win7 Pro) When I try to build the installer on the new machine, I get an odd error which I don't understand. Nothing on the web seems to match it. The error isn't in my code, its on line 761 of wix2010.targets The line is <Exec WorkingDirectory="$(OutDir)" Command="$(ExpandedPreBuildEvent)" /> I haven't edited this file at all. The error I get is this: Error 3 The command ""%WIX%\bin\heat" dir "D:\Code\products\LE\bin\Debug\Help" -dr HelpFolder -cg HelpComponentGroup -var var.HelpDir -srd -gg -sfrag -suid -template:fragment -out "D:\Code\products\LE\Setup\help.wxs.sample"" exited with code 3. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\wix2010.targets 761 6 Setup But the exact same code compiles fine on the old machine. Is there some setting I need to change maybe? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
