[wix-devs] Daily build of WiX3 won't run on a different machine

I did a full build of WiX v3 and the WiX314.exe starts successfully on the machine which it was built.  However when I copy to another machine I only briefly see the UI flash and this is in the logfile.


My goal was to put this private build of WiX on my build server and then refactor my IsWiX installer source to rely on a VSExtension change that I just made instead of a private custom action.

Is there a step I'm missing?
