[wix-devs] wix3 build errors

[Blair Murri]

And OneTimeWixBuidInitialization.proj needs to be built elevated. Nothing else requires elevation, for interactive login sessions

OneTimeWixBuidInitialization.proj is necessary (as documented) but you don't need the full VS matrix unless you want to do an official build, which isn't necessary in most developer scenarios.

You need to run the OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj build once. You'll also need a very long list of stuff installed to build everything from end to end. It's something like VS2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017.


Here's the Azure DevOps pipeline YAML that builds WiX3.

I am new to wix3 and I am having a problem building with msbuild from my VS
2017 Developer command prompt.  Please help me get past the build error.

I tried searching the archive for this mailing list and there is some kind of ht://Dig error ... so I apologize if this question has already been answered.

To build I cloned wix3  `git clone https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3.git

-b wix3111` and then I executed `msbuild wix.proj`.

Here is the bottom of my build output which sumarizes the build failures.
