I probably should add details about my previous question. I'm using WiX 3.8 on my local dev machine running Win 8.2 and everything is building fine. Our build machines were apparently using Win XP and this bug reared its head today when we upgraded our build machines to Win 7. What changed in the OS to make this happen specifically on Win7?

I'm not allowed to make this change due to our distributed build system, but can someone confirm that this workaround is correct? -Robert -----Original Message----- From: Robert Harrison [mailto:robert.harri...@citrix.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 4:39 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] WiX 3.8 MakeSfxCA.exe exited with code 3 Wix Users, My project will not building due to the following error.
