[wix-users] Bootstrapper fails after upgrading from 3.9 to 3.11

[Griesshammer, Christoph (GE Healthcare)]

We are upgrading our build servers to WiX 3.11 and we have a solution that is building fine, but when we run it, nothing pops up, it just exists and the log has the following.

I have done some researching, but the only relevant information I found was this thread: http://lists.wixtoolset.org/pipermail/wix-users-wixtoolset.org/2016-March/001639.html
That thread didn't really help me, though.

Any ideas? Thank you so much.
