[wix-devs] wix3 build errors

I frequently see WiX msbuild hangs in pipelines. I use 32bit msbuild. I tend to add /p:RunWiXToolsOutOfProc=true by habit now to avoid that. I just took it out and it built fine without it.
I just built a new hyper-v machine with an 8 core 5.0ghz i9-9900k, 64gb of RAM and dual 1TB Samsung 970 Pro NVME drives and I have gigabit fiber to the house. Creating a build server VM and installing VS 2010/12/13/15/17 went by surprisingly quick.

All those VS copies are needed because of the OFFICIAL_WIX_BUILD. If you don't need an official build (and you don't to do dev work) don't set that. The RunWixToolsOutOfProc shouldn't be necessary either (unless you are using 64-bit MSBuild, but most people don't do that).
You're in for a whole lot more work trying to do an official build.

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.
