Chris, I'm curious, why do you use this approach instead of the shipping wix.targets build process that comes with WiX?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSBuild inside Wix development You don't want to call MSBuild *from* WiX. Instead you want to mave MSBuild call WiX. Attached is my MSBuild project file that calls candle.exe and light.exe to build an MSI file. You can see that I have the path to the WiX bin folder hard-coded (and my machine is x64). So as an improvement you could use the MSBuild Community Tasks (http://msbuildtasks.tigris.org/) to read the registry (via RegistryRead) to dynamically determine the install location of WiX. Hope this helps. -Chris On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 1:08 AM, Krishnan Senthilraj < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am new to Wix and MSBuild area.
