[wix-users] Using Heat Task with 64-bit MSBuild

[Phill Hogland]

I believe that the wix toolset tools are all 32 bit.  I use the 32 bit MSBuild for my projects.

Hi,

I am always getting this Exception:

Task "HeatDirectory"
  Befehl:
  G:\PlasticWorkspaces\InstallerNew\Sources\SetupPackages\CEREC..\..\..\..\Tools\WIX\310\Heat.exe dir G:\PlasticWorkspaces\InstallerNew\Sources\SetupPackages\CEREC..\..\..\..\Input\CEREC\programfiles -cg HeatProgramfilesComponents -dr SoftwareFolder -scom -sreg -srd -var var.InputProgramFilesPath -ag -sfrag -suid -out G:\PlasticWorkspaces\InstallerNew\Sources\SetupPackages\CEREC\Heat\ProgramFiles.wxs
  Could not load file or assembly 'file:///G:\PlasticWorkspaces\InstallerNew\Tools\WIX\310\Heat.exe' or one of its dependencies. Es wurde versucht, eine Datei mit einem falschen Format zu laden.

     at System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom(String assemblyFile)
     at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Build.Tasks.WixToolTask.ExecuteToolThread(Object parameters)

if I use 64-bit “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe” with the Heat from WIX Toolset 3.10.2

If I use “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe” everything is fine.

Is this a known incompatibility or did I miss something?


And something off-topic, is it possible to search through the mailing list archives at the moment? The website says “no” but maybe this isn’t up to date.

Thanks

Andreas Orzyszek
