One project is a shared library ("Widget") and the other is a WiX setup project ("Setup"). WiX project was created for v3.6 I upgraded the solution and the projects to Visual Studio 2012 and WiX 3.7 (still targeting .NET v4) but not my setup project fails to build due to bootstraper errors. In my project file I have following declared <!-- WiX Bootstrapper for installing prerequisites--> <ItemGroup> <BootstrapperFile Include=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"> <ProductName>.NET Framework 4.0</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Windows.Installer.4.5"> <ProductName>Windows Installer 4.5</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="AfterBuild"> <GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="$(TargetFileName)" ApplicationName="My Widget" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" ComponentsLocation="Relative" CopyComponents="True" OutputPath="$(OutputPath)" Path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\Bootstrapper\"/> </Target> However when I build the setup project it fails with following (sorry for the verbosity, just wanted to be detailed) 7>------ Rebuild All started: Project: My.Project.Setup, Configuration: Debug x86 ------ 7> C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\candle.exe -dDebug -d"DevEnvDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\\" -dSolutionDir=X:\Source\My.Project\ -dSolutionExt=.sln -dSolutionFileName=My.Project.sln -dSolutionName=My.Project -dSolutionPath=X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.sln -dConfiguration=Debug -dOutDir=bin\Debug\ -dPlatform=x86 -dProjectDir=X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Setup\ -dProjectExt=.wixproj -dProjectFileName=My.Project.Setup.wixproj -dProjectName=My.Project.Setup -dProjectPath=X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Setup\My.Project.Setup.wixproj -dTargetDir=X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Setup\bin\Debug\ -dTargetExt=.msi -dTargetFileName=My.Project.Setup.msi -dTargetName=My.Project.Setup -dTargetPath=X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Setup\bin\Debug\My.Project.Setup .msi -dMy.Project.Widget.Configuration=Debug -d"My.Project.Widget.FullConfiguration=Debug|x86" -dMy.Project.Widget.Platform=x86 -dMy.Project.Widget.ProjectDir=X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Widget\ -dMy.Project.Widget.ProjectExt=.csproj -dMy.Project.Widget.ProjectFileName=My.Project.Widget.csproj -dMy.Project.Widget.ProjectName=My.Project.Widget -dMy.Project.Widget.ProjectPath=X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Widget\My.Pro ject.Widget.csproj -dMy.Project.Widget.TargetDir=X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Widget\bin\Debu g\ -dMy.Project.Widget.TargetExt=.exe -dMy.Project.Widget.TargetFileName=My.Project.Widget.exe -dMy.Project.Widget.TargetName=My.Project.Widget -dMy.Project.Widget.TargetPath=X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Widget\bin\Deb ug\My.Project.Widget.exe -out obj\Debug\ -arch x86 -ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\\WixUIExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\\WixNetFxExtension.dll" Product.wxs 7> C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\Light.exe -out X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Setup\bin\Debug\My.Project.Setup.msi -pdbout X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Setup\bin\Debug\My.Project.Setup.wixpdb -cultures:null -ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\\WixUIExtension.dll" -ext "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\\WixNetFxExtension.dll" -contentsfile obj\Debug\My.Project.Setup.wixproj.BindContentsFileListnull.txt -outputsfile obj\Debug\My.Project.Setup.wixproj.BindOutputsFileListnull.txt -builtoutputsfile obj\Debug\My.Project.Setup.wixproj.BindBuiltOutputsFileListnull.txt -wixprojectfile X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Setup\My.Project.Setup.wixproj obj\Debug\Product.wixobj 7>X:\Source\My.Project\My.Project.Setup\My.Project.Setup.wixproj(71,5): error MSB3152: To enable 'Download prerequisites from the same location as my application' in the Prerequisites dialog box, you must download file 'WindowsInstaller4_5\WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe' for item 'Windows Installer 4.5' to your local machine.
