[wix-devs] wix3 build errors

[David Ing]

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I had built `OneTimeWixBuidInitialization.proj` from an elevated prompt
prior to sending the email.

Threading wasn't the issue because I still had the error upon running
`msbuild wix.proj -maxcpucount:1`.

Christopher Painter pasted some YML which unfortunately was garbled
(newlines were removed), but I was able to determine some command-line
arguments to add to my call.

msbuild wix.proj -maxcpucount:1 /p:RunWixToolsOutOfProc=true
/p:StopOnFirstFailure=true /p:OFFICIAL_WIX_BUILD=C:\wixsn\wix.snk


This produced a new build error which stated that I must install VS 2010,
2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017 (also per Christopher's suggestion).  I am still
installing the versions that I did not have beforehand (2010, 2012, 2013)
so I can try again.  I will post an update when I learn more.

BTW ... you all should consider switching this email list over to nabble
... The gstreamer group switched 6 months ago (
http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble.com/) and it is SOOOOOOO nice.  I
think it is free.
