I apologize for the premature sending of the previous message. I'm currently riding the WiX learning curve and I have made some progress. I have made a couple of .msi files that I have wrapped in a bootstrapper application. The basic bootstrapper is working just fine so I am now working on adding on some prerequisite installations where I have ran into this LGHT0103 error. I have WiX 3.6 installed and I am using VS2008 to build the bootstrapper. After adding the code to install DirectX I get the following error in the Error List from VS:
Error 2 The system cannot find the file '' with type ''. light.exe 0 1 VideoToolBootstrapper I also took the command line and ran it in a CMD window and got slightly more info: light.exe : error LGHT0103 : The system cannot find the file '' with type ''. I have included my source below. I'm probably making some rookie mistake but I can't seem to identify or locate anything on the internet that has shed any light (pun intended!) on this issue I'm having. Any and all help is always appreciated!
