[wix-users] How do you build the Visual Studio 2015 Votive dll?

[Jon Earle]

I went to wix3\src\Votive\votive2015, opened a 32bit x86 build environment and ran "msbuild votive2015.proj" and received the following:


C:\git\wix3\src\Votive\votive2015>msbuild votive2015.proj

I have VS 2015 Update 3, SDK 10 and WDK 10 build 10586 installed.


Is there a trick to building the votive dll?  How is it done at Wix World HQ?


Cheers and thanks!
