[wix-users] Bad Image Format Exception

[Habib Salim]

Something just occurred to me - I recently decided to sign the assembly
and the installer.
I guess just around the time I started getting this error. 
Could that be the cause?  

Although I have a workaround, I can't stop trying to find out what caused
the issue.  Can't have it flaking out when it is out in the market.

I was paying attention to your post as I have seen that before but failed
to recall how I resolved it. I assure you the CA project does not need to
target 3.5, that simply resolved your issue somehow but it is not a
requirement.

I am currently in working in a large project with countless CAs and the
solution is targeting 4.6.2.
