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.

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."


Can either of you build your projects from the command line or is this specific to use inside Visual Studio? In either case, please enter a bug so the folks working on Votive have the details of the problem.
