[wix-devs] wix3 build errors

Fri Jan 4 19:13:47 PST 2019

You are also going to need  VS 2010 SDK SP1 to build Votive if you choose to build everything all the way through.  As Rob said,  most people here don't seem to see the need for  regular developers to build everything all the way through.   It's the only way that I roll though.  I always want to reproduce a good build before making any changes and I like to be able to build it again when I'm done so I can do a proper end to end integration test.

These lists were on nabble back in the day. They moved to  lists.wixtoolset.org back in July 2015.

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.
