[wix-users] WiXLib Project Throwing Compile Error

[Hoover, Jacob]

Also ensure there is no difference between the custom nuget package binaries, and the traditional binaries zip for download.

You'll probably want to debug the WiX Toolset to understand that one.

Subject: [wix-users] WiXLib Project Throwing Compile Error

I have a WiXLib project in the Visual Studio solution provided by my client. I have WiX 3.11 installed on my machine and have VS 2019 Professional also installed. However, when I try to build this project, I get the following error.

*Method not found: 'Void
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.CompilerCore.CreateCustomActionReference(Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.SourceLineNumberCollection,
System.String, Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Platforms)*

It is throwing this error from *Candle.exe*.

Has anyone faced this? If so, please help

*Note*: They have used a custom Nuget package with WiX (3.14) binaries (not sure if it is to avoid building this on a server without WiX installation), but I have commented the call to this custom target which has this reference. However, the error still persists.
