Which version of Votive are you trying to use for your first problem? It was
unclear whether you're using v2 or v3.
As far as the build failures go, Wix 2.0 requires the .NET Framework 1.1 SDK
(which is different than the runtime). You're right in that the runtime is
installed with the OS, but you actually need to install the SDK as well
(available at

-9F41-A333C6B9181D&displaylang=en> &displaylang=en). For the 3.0 error, it
looks like we might be requiring .NET 3.5, but that should be fixed. In the
meantime, installing .NET 3.5 may help you get past that error.

Subject: [WiX-users] Having trouble with Wix V3
I am having a couple of problems with Wix V2. They may be related. I've
included my system configuration at the bottom.
First thing, I cannot get Votive to create a valid Wix project file.
Installation of Votive was successful (Version 5325). After installation,
when I open Visual Studio I can see the new Wizard for creating Wix
Projects. When I use the wizard to create a Wix project it has a problem.
The status bar says "Creating project "WixProject1.wixproj".project creation
was successful", but there is nothing at all in the Solution Explorer. If I
look at the WixProject1.wixproj file, it looks OK (see attached), but VS
doesn't do anything with it. Closing and reloading the project just gets
"ready" in the status bar.
Secondly, I cannot compile the Delivery project.
dtools debug succeeded.
wix debug failed.
wix20debug failed.
WIX 2.0 fails to compile with: "Building WiX requires .NET Framework 1.1
SDK". However, I know it is installed. It's part of the OS.
Wix 3.0 fails with:
Using NANT from the C:\Delivery\Dev\wix directory:
[exec] Build FAILED.
