[wix-users] Heat with ToolsVersion 14.0

[Seravy]

Hi Sean,

Thanks so much for all your replies, I appreciate your time. You were of
course right on the money, The setup and number of builds I was testing it
on where confusing me.

I was just getting the error:
"heat.exe : error HEAT5307 : Build failed."
Which was the same as toolsversion 15 so I assumed it was the same, but if
i change both typescript and the tools version it works fine. I was
updating toolsversion to 14 on the older typescript version and was getting
a similar error. I also had an issue with the project using multiple
typescript versions.

Thanks again!
Murray
