Hi,

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix v3.0 - Candle error The command line for candle and light changed from v2 to v3, you know specify extension like this -ext WixIIsExtension or -ext WiXUtilExtension (I can't remember what pcaext was). As you have run WiXCop on your file the schema at the top of the file will point you to the correct extension.
