I have used wixlibs on WiX 3.5 and WiX 3.6 projects. My experience is that a Wix 3.5 built wixlib will work with WiX 3.6 projects, but the converse is not true.

For purposes of this discussion, I'm only concerned with the official RTMs (3.5.2519.0, 3.6.3303.0, 3.7.1224.0). My objective is to use wixlibs for inter-project collaboration, so that one project can produce wixlibs for reuse in other projects. Is the wixlib format reasonably backward-compatible across these versions, or would I be better off requiring all parties to use the same version of the WiX toolset?
