I just tried upgrading to build 3.0.4624.0 from 3.0.4014.0, and I noticed that my setup projects won't build anymore. VS 2005 compains about the wix.targets file. The compiler reports back that 'The target link does not exist in the project in the error list, but there don't appear to be any

So I found a couple of solutions so far. It looks like mergemod.dll wasn't installed to the C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin directory with the new build, so I manually copied it over and fixed that error. Then the Link symbol looks like it was caused by this line in my wixproj:

Thanks for your response Jason. Somehow your MSI package has a missing or invalid LastSaveTime. What tool are you using to build the MSI package? I used WiX 3.0.2925.0 to build the .msi. However, I used DTF from 3.0.4624.0. I rebuilt the msi using WiX v3.0.4624.0 and got the same error.
