I believe there is a known problem with VS2008 and 3.7, see here: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Wix-3-7-Woes-with-VS2008-td7582558.html
The fix is to add <RunWixToolsOutOfProc>true</RunWixToolsOutOfProc> to your project file.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] trouble with Visual Studio integration after upgrade to WiX 3.7 Please ignore my mail. I can open the wixproj in VS2008 when I install WiX toolset 3.7. My bad. Sorry for that noise. But there are still problems. When I start "build project" VS2008 crashes. In a debugger I can catch the BadFormatException: ----- "Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\candle.exe' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded." ----- I can run candle and light successfully from the command line. Opening the wixproj in VS2005 still fails although ProjectAggregator2 is installed. Regards Helge 2013/2/19 Helge Kruse <helge.kr...@gmx.net>: > Now I tried to use VS2008.
