It can be done but you need to unwire all the wix build customisations before it will work - personally I have found none of solutions in the wix source work unless you can first build everything and even then it is not easy. What I did to build wixstdba was pull out the projects wixstdba and balutil in to their own solution and then rewire the include and lib files to reference the wix 3.6 sdk in "C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v3.6\SDK" (this is probably how the developers expected it to work). I have not been able to get the extension or wixlib to build but just creating wixstdba was enough for me.
Hope this helps.

Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with <UsingTask> in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319" directory. - building using make shows * Buildfile: file:///D:/Projets/wix sources/wix.build * Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 * Target(s) specified: inc * * [property] Target framework changed to "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0". * [property] Read-only property "dir.hhw" cannot be overwritten. * [property] Read-only property "hhw-found" cannot be overwritten. * * BUILD FAILED - 0 non-fatal error(s), 2 warning(s) what do i miss ? thank you in advance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
