WixCop gives you everything that was wrong. To make it fix the file, specify the -f switch. You'll still get all the error and warning messages, but it will now attempt to convert the schema.
 
Note that there are some places where a WixCop-converted file still won't compile with v3, such as where you have a Directory which specifies both Name and LongName, and both are less than or equal to 8 characters.

I tried Wixcop on a very simple WXS file and produced a lot of error and warning messages.

What’s the correct command line syntax?

 

Thanks,

If you downloaded the v3, you’ll also have an exe called wixcop in the distribution.  Run wixcop on your existing v2 .wxs files, and it will automagically update them to the latest schema.

I don't know whether this is right time and place to post my questions here. We have a stable Wix v2 project that contains the installation and configuration of VS 2005 dll, exe, database, windows service, web service. This afternoon I downloaded Wix v3 and got a lot errors and warnings. The preprocessors don't work, WebVirtualDir becomes an unexpected element for component, etc. Where can I find instructions on how to upgrade from v2 to v3? Thank you very much in advance.
