Thank you Blair. That worked great. I use Msbiuld in other parts of my build 
process, but did not think about trying it to solve this problem. I appreciate 
the help.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Error Building WixProj from DevEnv Command Line

dunno. I always use msbuild from the command line:


“FullPathToMSBuild.exe” /nologo /t:Rebuild “FullPathToSolutionFile”




DevEnv has always been a black box and has never been particularly build-box 
friendly.


You’ll have to use DevEnv on solutions containing projects that aren’t 
compatible with MSBuild, but there are fewer of those project types remaining 
with each new release of VS.

I have a VS 2010 solution that contains 2 Wix projects for two different 
installs. I can compile/build the solution from within the Visual Studio IDE 
without errors. When I build the solution from the command line using 
DevEnv.exe, I get the following error on one of the projects...

MySetup.wixproj : error  : Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 
0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

One or more projects in the solution were not loaded correctly.
Please see the Output Window for details.

I am using the following command line to build the solution...

"FullPathToDevEnv.exe" /nologo /rebuild "FullPathToSolutionFile"

The other project in the solution builds without errors. I have examined each 
project file in a text editor and they are nearly identical, except for 
different files and different names/Guids. Any ideas on what might be causing 
this error and how I can make it go away?

Thanks in advance for any help.
