Those two dlls are part of the Expression Blend Studio (which I have very little experience with). However so far as I am aware, Visual Studio and Blend are only deployed to 32 bit environments (x86 or WOW64) and the .Net applications which consume those dlls should be compiled in Visual Studio

Hi Walter, I have compared each and every file and it's exactly the same. I have no idea how to debug this. In my understanding the build manager settings could be wrong or the WIX codes may be wrong. - Wix 3.8 users -- View this message in context:

Others have provided good advice which should allow you to resolve the problem. From an application perspective I would collect the same files in the same folder tree that your wix installer is collecting, and manually copy them to a PC which has never been touched by Visual Studio (or Blend).
