I am trying to build the sample WiX Custom action using C#. I have created
the TestCustomActions project using 'C# Custom Action Project' template in
VS 2015 Community edition.

I am not able to build it. It keeps throwing the following error -

C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3832,5):
error MSB3030: Could not copy the file
"C:\TestCustomActions\obj\x86\Release\TestCustomActions.CA.dll" because it
was not found.

Looks like, unmanaged CA.dll is not getting generated. Any idea, what could
be the problem?



   - Which version of WiX are you building with?

3.10.3.007


   - Which version of Visual Studio are you building with (if any)?

VS 2015 Community Edition Update 3


   - Which version of .NET are you building with?

.Net 4.5.2
