When attempting to build a wixproj from VisualStudio 2012/MSBuild, it
started failing today with the below message.
Can you provide any insight as to why this might be failing and what file
it is complaining already exists?
Note: If I run the candle command directly in the console, instead of
through msbuild, it succeeds.
I tried uninstalling WiX and reinstalling, but that didn't help.
I'm running WiX v3.6. This was working fine earlier today, so I'm sure I
broke something, I just can't figure out what I broke or where else to look.
thanks
