Hi all,
I found the issue and fixed it. The issue was under each .wixproj file the
value of $(WixToolPath) was referring to older version of Wix (.i.e 3.5)
<WixToolPath>$(ProgramFiles)\Windows Installer Xml
v3.5\bin\</WixToolPath>
I re-visited each individual projects unloaded it, edit the .wixproj file
and change the value to
<WixToolPath>$(ProgramFiles)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\</WixToolPath>
By doing this all project are able to build, but at the end i am getting
the following strange issues
*Error 427 The Windows Installer XML variable 'WixUICostingPopupOptOut' is
declared in more than one location. Please remove one of the declarations.
C:\src\wix38\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\Common.wxs 18 1 XXXXXInstall**Error*
*430* *The Windows Installer XML variable 'WixUICostingPopupOptOut' is
declared in more than one location. Please remove one of the declarations.*
*C:\src\wix38\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\Common.wxs* *18* *1* *Installer*
i scanned my whole machine but couldn't find file "*Common.wxs*" and in
addition under Installer.wxs file there is a variable declared as:
*<WixVariable Id="WixUICostingPopupOptOut" Value="1" Overridable="yes" />*
while googling i found the above mentioned error

The above mentioned bug has been addressed in Wix version 3.5/3.6, i have
installed Wix 3.8 (3.8.1128.0)
How do i address these issues ?? Please help
Thanks,
