Yep... definitely shouldn't be moving built-in files like msbuild.exe.
Lots of bad things can happen as most of those sorts of tools assume they
are in a particular location when you're using them.
Better to qualify your path to the file or use the windows path to get a
reference to it via batch files or something.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding Bootstrapper code to wxs file. (Somebody, please

Yes. I copied MSBuild.exe from
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727 to C:\WIX\Test_Dot_NET for
building purpose.
Thanks,
