>   I am trying to move my old wix 3.11 project from jenkins to azure devops.
> I am running into some issues where .targets files are not being found. For one example:
>
> Error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin\Wix.targets" was not found.
>
> and, same for wix2010.targets
>
> I was originally keeping the wix3.11 binaries in source control. I want to now instead have them available on the build agent and not source control.
> Or, even better, a more temporary download of a package of all of the wix dependencies (e.g. nuget). However, I'm assuming just having the wix MSI installed is the recommended approach.
>
> I am having a hard time finding out where I was originally getting these .targets files from. And also where I even got wix2010.targets from in the first place, as I'm not seeing that in the install.
>
>
> Here are my questions:
> 1. Where is wix2010.targets coming from? How do I get it on my new build agent system?
> 2. Where is wix.targets and why do I not see it on a fresh install of 3.14?
> 3. What is using the wixtasks.dll ?
>
> I am using DTF and HeatDirectory task.
