[wix-users] Stub executable does not contain a .wixburn data section - WAT?

[Rob Mensching]

The stub found at the %WIX%\bin\x86\burn.exe is not what the WiX Toolset expects it to be. Corruption?

Can anyone please explain this error message to me?

> Stub executable [...] does not contain a .wixburn data section

I have no clue... I have the simplest of simple bundles that is pretty close to the bare minimum. I just can't relate this error message to anything in my source. It is highly opaque.

Here's my bundle.wxs:
