I was using 3.5.2208.0 and I moved my original solution file to a C: drive for integration testing. The recompile got me the error LGHT0216 with code 0x65B occurred. So, I thought maybe if I upgrade to the latest 3.5.2229.0, the problem would go away, but it did not.
What I did was I added "-sval" in the Visual Studio for Additional parameters for the Compiler: , now, I can see the errors and warnings, which was hidden before. It was telling me I had a duplicated GUID id in my file; After fixing that I am able to generate the msi file. Thank you, Rob!

My first hypothesis is that validation is failing. Can you try adding "-sval" to the command line (Suppress Validation checkbox in Votive)? If that works, you'll probably want to find another way of running validation on your MSI. smoke.exe can do just that.
