I've just installed the latest wix3.msi on XP SP2 with VS2008 rtm and am
getting the same error on attempting to open a solution containing a WiX
project. The project is then marked as unavailable in the IDE.

Subject: [WiX-users] adding "WixUIExtension" produces "Error HRESULT
E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component." when reopening
solution
After adding the following entry to my wix setup project using the
votive vs08 project extensions support everything works fine.
<ItemGroup>
<WixExtension Include="WixUIExtension">
<HintPath>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML
v3\bin\WixUIExtension.dll</HintPath>
</WixExtension>
</ItemGroup>
Later when I close and try to reopen the project I get the following
error which I can only resolve by removing the above entry
"Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component."
I'm running on a clean vista sp1 x64 setup with vs08 rtm in place and
latest wix3.msi installed.
Is this a known issue?
