[wix-users] SWID Tag input string was not in a correct format error from Light

[Rob Mensching]

Can you build from the command with msbuild with logging on? There will be a much longer error message that will help figure out the issue. If you can copy down the wix-debug.zip and extract the files next to where you installed, that'd be even more help tracking down the issue.

Correct: Product.

This is what I get in the Error List panel.

Severity Code Description Project File Line Error Input string was not in a correct format.
isr.IO.Diolan.Handler.Driver.Console.WiX light.exe 0

Also, the tab works fine in the bootstrap project.
