If you are looking to build the WiX source code then I think you should get the version of WiX that has the features you want/need. The latest version has build system improvements that make it much easier to build the WiX source code. I think _most_ people do *NOT* build the WiX source code at any version. They instead consume WiX by using a published setup package. Edwin G.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Source howto?
Both You and Nick have suggested to get the latest version from source control rather than download a snapshot of 3.6. Is working with the latest version of WiX from source control what most people do? I'm not to familiar with the project so I'm not sure what to expect when it comes to the stability of the 'bleeding edge'. Some projects recommend you work with the 'stable' snap shot, but if committed code is mostly solid I'll jump to that.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Source howto?
I'd suggest giving the 3.7 branch a shot, as it actually builds with MSBuild (as opposed to 3.6 and older which was a combination of ugly Nant'ness). -Original Message- From: Filip Balas [mailto:fba...@petersco.com] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2012 1:38 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] WiX Source howto? I'm trying to use the source for wix 3.6 as a sample of how to use wix. The documentation/tutorials seem to be very thin about bootstrapping and creating custom wpf UI's so I figured the best way to learn would be to look at the code that WiX developers use. I am just wondering what WiX devs use to write WiX? Do they just use a text editor because none of the projects work properly in VS2010. After moving files to strange places resulting from various load errors when opening a solution, I am now stuck trying to look at Wpf xaml file because none of the references of the project can be found (they have exclamation marks next to them). When I try to remove and re-add a reference it doesn't change anything and the reference is still broken. Is there a resource somewhere on how to get the source code to work in VS2010?
