[wix-devs] wix3 build errors

Fri Jan 4 21:24:13 PST 2019

I was able to get rid of 3 build errors by running in an elevated prompt.
I have installed  VS 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017.

My command line (from VS2017 elevated prompt) is:

msbuild wix.proj -maxcpucount:1 /p:StopOnFirstFailure=true

I have two remaining build errors.  How might I fix them?

"c:\dev\github\wixtoolset\wix3\wix.proj" (default target) (1) ->
"c:\dev\github\wixtoolset\wix3\src\setup\setup.proj" (default target) (153)
->
"c:\dev\github\wixtoolset\wix3\src\setup\Bundle\Bundle.wixproj" (default
target) (154) ->
"c:\dev\github\wixtoolset\wix3\src\setup\CoreMsi\CoreMsi.wixproj" (default
target) (155) ->
(Link target) ->
  c:\dev\github\wixtoolset\wix3\src\setup\CoreMsi\Extensions.wxs(26): error
