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

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!

Jon
