I've just upgraded from VS2008 and WiX 3.0 to VS2010 and WiX 3.5 (3.5.1916.0, to be exact). I can build a couple of my most simple WiX projects inside Visual Studio without error. However, when I attempt to build a few of my other projects (which still build without error in WiX 3.0) inside Visual Studio, I receive the following error...
Error 93 The "GetCabList" task failed unexpectedly. Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.InstallerException: The system cannot open the device or file specified. Database="E:\Workspaces\VSBinaries\Install\Release\en-us\MRClient_x86.wixout" at Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Database.Open(String filePath, DatabaseOpenMode mode) at Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Database..ctor(String filePath) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Build.Tasks.GetCabList.Execute() at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskExecutionHost.Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.ITaskExecutionHost.Execute() at Microsoft.Build.BackEnd.TaskBuilder.ExecuteInstantiatedTask(ITaskExecutionHost taskExecutionHost, TaskLoggingContext taskLoggingContext, TaskHost taskHost, ItemBucket bucket, TaskExecutionMode howToExecuteTask, Boolean& taskResult) E:\Workspaces\FRx_Main\main\Tools\WiX\3.5.1916.0\Wix2010.targets 2108 6 I am able to build the same project from a VS 2010 command prompt without error (well, I run into bug 3031280 in some projects, but I know that one is fixed for the next build). I've tried running as admin to remove potential permissions problems as the culprit and I've investigated using Process Monitor - there don't appear to be any file access issues. The wixout file is definitely being written to the path shown above. I would appreciate any ideas on where to start with getting past this. Please let me know any additional information I can provide.
