Finally got back into looking at this issue. The problem is related to using the files from the the binaries download. After unzipping them to disk, the files are locked since they were created on another machine. It would be nice if the Windows Explorer visually indicated this similar to how is shows folders that are locked or shared, but oh well.
To unlock the files, I download a utility from SysInternals called Streams. I ran this with the -s and -d options from the root directory of the Wix files. I can now build again. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Error-in-candle-during-build-tp7385947p7409542.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
