Hey all,
There is a compile issue with WiX and having a Visual Studio that is not 2010 with SQL Server Management Studio...
I have:
WiX 3.10.2Visual Studio 2015 Update 2SQL Server 2012 (same issue with 2014) with Management Studio (which uses a Visual Studio 2010 Shell) (This is not SQL Express)
I compile using: call "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\msbuild.exe" wix.proj /m:1 /p:Configuration=Release /clp:Verbosity=Normal /fl /flp:LogFile=C:\Dev\SetupCommon\Main\WIX_ToolSet_v3.10.2\Wix.log;Verbosity=Detailed
Try to compile and I get these errors:
C:\Dev\SetupCommon\Main\WIX_ToolSet_v3.10.2\wix.proj" (default target) (1) ->"C:\Dev\SetupCommon\Main\WIX_ToolSet_v3.10.2\src\burn\burn.proj" (default target) (62) ->"C:\Dev\SetupCommon\Main\WIX_ToolSet_v3.10.2\src\libs\libs.proj" (default target) (63) ->"C:\Dev\SetupCommon\Main\WIX_ToolSet_v3.10.2\src\libs\libs_multitarget.proj" (default target) (64) ->"C:\Dev\SetupCommon\Main\WIX_ToolSet_v3.10.2\src\libs\wcautil\wcautil.vcxproj" (default target) (65) ->(PlatformPrepareForBuild target) ->  C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets(55,5): error MSB8020: The build tools for Visual Studio 2010 (Platform Toolset = 'v100') cannot be found. To build using the v100 build tools, pleaseinstall Visual Studio 2010 build tools.  Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution".

    22 Warning(s)    2 Error(s)    If I uninstall "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell" and try to compile all works...
I need the SQL Server Management Studio installed...
Can this be fixed for future releases?
Thanks,
