I have found a solution to the error: "src\dtf\tools\sfxca\precomp.h(32) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open type library file: 'mscorlib.tlb': No such file or directory."
If you add "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727" to the path before running the build it should fix it.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Recent WIX sources will not build I have found the same and just haven't had time to document the problems. There are loads of files missing from the source download, I found the best thing to do was to get the CVS source as well and copy the required files from there and also search for files on your local system until it builds. Even then I couldn't get a full build to work but it got me far enough to look and the main console applications and extensions. To get the CVS source install CVSNT and then use these two commands - when it prompts for a password just hit enter: "C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/wix login "C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/wix co -P wix Good luck!

All documentation says to 'simply run make.bat,' but I'm not seeing this succeed. I'm actually hit two problems - 1) C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(2743,9) : error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\darice.cub" to "C:\WIX\SOURCES\build\debug\x86\darice.cub". Could not find file 'C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\darice.cub'. [exec] C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(2743,9) : error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\mergemod.cub" to "C:\WIX\SOURCES\build\debug\x86\mergemod.cub". Could not find file 'C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\mergemod.cub'. [exec] C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(2743,9) : error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\mergemod.dll" to "C:\WIX\SOURCES\build\debug\x86\mergemod.dll". Could not find file 'C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\light\mergemod.dll'. [exec] C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(2743,9) : error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\pyro\mspatchc.dll" to "C:\WIX\SOURCES\build\debug\x86\mspatchc.dll". Could not find file 'C:\WIX\SOURCES\src\pyro\mspatchc.dll'. If I manually copy these files from a download of the WIX binaries, I circumvent this error. Instead I hit this: 2) [cl] c:\users\jebremus\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\wix\src\dtf\tools\sfxca\precomp.h(32) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open type library file: 'mscorlib.tlb': No such file or directory. Has anyone seen this before or know of a fix? Has anyone been able to build recent WIX sources out of the box as advertised? Thanks much. -Jeb Remus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
