Hi Rob, Thanks very much for your quick feedback.
Your solution worked perfect for heat project. However, because I have Visual Studio 2012 installed, I had to add /P: VisualStudioVersion="11.0" option to my MSBuild command to get it to build Wix64.proj. Without this defining this property I was getting this error : "error MSB8008: Specified platform (v110) is not installed or invalid........." This is triggered from C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\x64\Microsoft.Cpp.x64.Targets (507, 5). I am sharing this just in case someone else encounters the same issue.

I have managed to build a local copy of Heat.exe targeting x64. However, I get the following error when I run it: System.IO.FileLoadException was unhandled Message: Could not load file or assembly 'heat, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c9acf360d0e036e3' or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A) I noticed that the "Delay Sign only" flag is set to true. I tried using SN tool to re-sign Heat.exe assembly as follows: SN -R heat.exe ..\..\..\tools\publickey_wix.snk This fails with: Failed to extract public key from key pair -- Bad Version of provider. How can I successfully build a working copy of heat.exe that targets 64-Bit platform? Your help is greatly appreciated Wix community.
