I've tried to install WiX 3.6 beta on VM with Server 2008 on it and I've had a failure to install.
The VM also has SQL server 2008R2 on it which means it has that partial Visual studio install that Management studio gives you but otherwise it's fairly plain with .net 3.5SP1 and 4.0 installed. The log file from %tmp% shows this: 0DA4:0E10][2011-11-07T16:28:44]: Burn v3.6.2221.0, path: C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Wix36.exe, cmdline: '-burn.unelevated BurnPipe.{A5079298-7785-4827-921E-8F70C0937CBB} {5B986E63-E41B-47FC-A80E-019B304F5BB0} 5312' [0DA4:0E10][2011-11-07T16:28:44]: Setting string variable 'WixBundleName' to value 'WiX Toolset v3.6.2221.0' [0DA4:0E10][2011-11-07T16:28:44]: Setting string variable 'WixBundleLog' to value 'C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\WiX_Toolset_v3.6.2221.0_20111107162844.log' [0DA4:0E10][2011-11-07T16:28:45]: Setting string variable 'WixBundleOriginalSource' to value 'C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Wix36.exe' [0DA4:0E10][2011-11-07T16:28:45]: Loading managed bootstrapper application.
