I also suggest you do a regsvr32 on your release DLL and ensure that the codebase value in the registry is correct.
Also check your build spew to double check the command line passed to the heat utility.

However, this should cause it to break in both Configurations, so I suspect that's not it. Is this Release configuration build breaking on a build server, both locally and on a build server, or just locally? I note you're redirecting the output from the default, and that can cause serious breakage and performance problems on a TFS build server. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Marco Tognacci [mailto:mark...@live.it] Sent: Friday, July 26, 2013 2:49 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
