Jacob is correct. To answer your questions: 1. Why exclusive? No one has put forth the (large?) effort to make the MSBuild and Visual Studio integration work side-by-side. Do what Jacob says for SxS.
2. SDK folder? We're trying to get those in sync but they would be breaking changes in WiX v3.x (which we don't do). I think it is fixed in WiX v4.0. _____________________________________________________________ Short replies here.

Short version is to download the binaries zip, put it in a known location on your build machine, and then use <PropertyGroup> <WixToolPath>$(SourceCodeControlRoot)\wix\[[Version]]\</WixToolPath> <WixTargetsPath>$(WixToolPath)Wix.targets</WixTargetsPath> <WixTasksPath>$(WixToolPath)wixtasks.dll</WixTasksPath> </PropertyGroup> in your project to point it at the desired WiX version. -----Original Message----- From: Tunney, Stephen [mailto:stephen.tun...@nuance.com] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2014 1:29 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] WiX 3.x Installs are mutually exclusive. Why? :) Hey guys, Just ramping up to upgrade from 3.7 to 3.9 and it appears as though I can only have 1 version installed (via the installer) at a time on my development box. This has me a touch concerned. I would really like to maintain older versions of our product with the version of WiX that generated the RTM installer. I think this would be essential for generating patches, etc. Also, I have noticed that the SDK folder structure in the ZIPs in 3.9 (and 3.8) do not match the directory structure of the installer. Is there a reason for this? Cheers, Stephen Tunney Nuance Communications, Inc.
