[wix-devs] Building with Visual Studio 2015

[Heath Stewart]

@Sean, but the standalone 7.1 SDK writes “7.1”, not “7.1A”. I’d have to install, IIRC, Visual Studio 2010. Not ideal.



@John, I think that may be part of the problem. I installed all the headers and libs for Windows for 7.1, but .NET Framework SDK was disabled because it thinks .NET 4.0 is not installed (I have 4.6.2, which is in-place). I wonder if I need to satisfy its check so that it installs the .NET Framework SDK. I wonder if that’s when mscoree.h would be installed.

I've gotten this error when the SDK silently only partial installs.  Reinstalling or copying over the missing bits from a known good SDK works.  Reinstalling is obviously preferable.

The e-mail below is from an external source.  Please do not open attachments or click links from an unknown or suspicious origin.

IIRC, we still target XP and the newer SDK's don't include that support.
So we have to install the 7.1A SDK (the latest that supports XP).
