It also looks like you are using a custom Wix deployment. I would ensure your binaries are in sync with your targets.  If you are using a custom (ie NuGet package or source build) toolset, then you should see if you are assigning WixToolPath/ WixExtDir/ WixTasksPath/ WixTargetsPath.

Look in your Visual Studio project file at the build task...
