The WiX Toolset lets developers create installers for Windows Installer, the Windows installation engine. The core of WiX is a set of build tools that build Windows Installer packages using the same build concepts as the rest of your product: source code is compiled and then linked to create executables; in this case .exe setup bundles, .msi installation packages, .msm merge modules, and .msp ...

Hi,

This is my first post here, and I'm not sure how to search other threads,
so if this has been answered, feel free to direct me there.

I have the latest version of Wix installed (3.11.2.4516).  I have been
configuring and building a project with VS 2019 for some time with no

When I try to build in VS, I get some error, but VS crashes.  So, I tried
via command line and got the following message:
