[wix-users] Debug Wix Source in VS 2017

[Hoover, Jacob]

The SLN files are just for convenience, wix is built via the command line with msbuild wix.proj. If you're not trying to do an official build, you should not need every version installed. If you just want to debug a rtm release, wix does provide the debug symbols on the download site.

Thanks a lot, Rob. I am using VS 2017. Even after following the steps, I am not able to compile it smoothly. I am getting errors while trying to compile the Wix project in the solution. So, does it mean that, I should install VS2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 also? It will be difficult to install all these.

Regards,
Venkatesh
