The location of the exes is taken from the registry and put in $(WixToolPath). Can you check the InstallRoot value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Installer XML\3.5 or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Installer XML\3.5 and see if it is correct? Otherwise, are you overriding $(WixToolPath) somewhere else in the project?
