Hi Chaitanya, we have to create several empty folders, too. We simply create the directory structure in our .wxs files and add a Component inside each empty folder. The Component has the attributes KeyPath=no, NeverOverwrite=no, Permanent=no, Win64=yes (we have a 64bit-only installer) and

It's not the target you're building to. It may be a manifestation of a bug in the WiX installer. It only creates entries in the 32-bit registry hive. On 64-bit build servers, these are in WOW, and they don't resolve as expected. You can create the keys in the 64-bit hive or force the builds

But I shouldn't need to install WiX on the build server, right? At least that's how I understand this page in the WiX docs... http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/msbuild/daily_builds.html What I find odd is why is MSBuild even looking for the wix.targets file in the program files

That would be incorrect. If the installer is building, WiX needs to be installed. Now it is possible to do things in tree (as it appears you are doing), but even that counts as an install of sorts. Something (probably a registry entry) is still pointing elsewhere. -- John Merryweather Cooper

No, you can build packages without installing Wix. I know there was a thread about this recently that actually had links to doing it and some good documentation. -Original Message- From: John Cooper [mailto:jocoo...@jackhenry.com] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 2:51 PM To: General
