This is incredibly unstable. So, this morning, I ran the candle command line shown from votive's output window myself in a CL window.. And it worked. So, I restarted VS2008, and rebuilt the project, and that was working too! So, I tried heading to the build server, and getting fuslogvw to work there, and trying to run the candle command line directly... It didn't work there, but the fuslogvw said it loaded properly.
So, I just reran the candle command line locally, to compare the fuslogvw outputs, most directly to check the assembly info of the wix dll... and it's not working locally again. WTF. This is all against a static version of my extension. That file has not changed at all since April 21st. Why would it work earlier today, but not work now? I'm using the same cut & pasted command line. Chris P.S. Thank you guys for the help, I do appreciate it... I'm *really* frustrated with what should be a simple task, and it's driving me up a wall here, so the help is the only thing keeping my computer from going out the window today.
