[wix-devs] Build wixv4 with VS 2017 RC Community

[Andreas Orzyszek]

I don't have sandcastle installed on the system.
And the Reference Assemblies exist under C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework
In all versions from 4.x until 4.6.2.

I checked the environment variable but it is not set.
In the lastbuild log tells me to better set it:
The SHFBROOT system environment variable was not found.  This variable 
is usually created during installation and may require a reboot.  It has 
been defined temporarily for this process as: 
SHFBROOT=D:\GitHub\wix4\packages\EWSoftware.SHFB.2014.11.22.0\Tools\

The other message is about the .net framework ...
SHFB: Error BE0071: Unable to locate information for the project 
framework version 'v4.0.30319' or a suitable redirected version 
on this system.  See error number help topic for details.

I tried to reinstall the Win7 SDK because of it, but I can't select the 
ref assemblies.

I'll reset the system in the next days and then install the win7 sdk 
before VS 2017 maybe that is the way to go.
