Thanks Jacob! 

Is there a guide to hacking on wix36? 

I haven't used nant in years... what should I be "nant'ng" (for toolsrc and
wix itself)?

Regard,

Rob

3.6 is not meant to be built by Visual Studio and MSBuild.  3.6 is a mess of
Nant build scripts and is quite fragile.  3.7 is being redone to build using
just MSBuild or Visual Studio (though I haven't checked to see any of the
progress).

Hey all,

I'm trying to build Wix in VS2010 and I'm having a problem.

I've downloaded the source from CodeProject using hg clone/hg update (to
wix36 tag).

The .sln appears to convert to vs2010 ok. Not sure why it was doing a
conversion though... should I be using vs2008?

When I try and build a specific extension, WixUtilExtension, I'm getting the
following error:
        Error reading resource file
'c:\its\WixDevelopment\build\debug\x86\\util.wixlib' -- 'The system cannot
find the file specified. '      WixUtilExtension


When I try and build the entire solution I get several similar messages.

So my question is where/when do the XXX.wixlib files get created?

Regards

Rob
