I now see the SDK\VS2010 and SDK\VS2012 folders that include inc and lib subfolders. I suspect this is where much of the work will need to be done to make VS specific libs and wired up to the version. Unless there is something else I'm missing, I'm thinking that a C++ / WiX Installer developer could make relatively short work of this. I don't think there is going to be any scary C# / VSIX work. (Knock on wood.)

I started with a Win7 VM with IE10 (prereq of VS) and VS2013. I then performed the following steps: Copy Files from a VS2010/VS2012 Dev Machine to the VM: [ProgramFilesFolder]WiX Toolset v3.7\bin IncludeFile.ico LocationFile.ico ProductFile.ico ProjectFile.ico WixLibraryFile.ico sconce2010.dll votive2010.dll [ProgramFilesFolder]Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\WiX Edit the extension.vsixmanifest found in the above WiX directory and add a new section: <VisualStudio Version="12.0"> <Edition>Ultimate</Edition> <Edition>Premium</Edition> <Edition>Pro</Edition> <Edition>Express_All</Edition> </VisualStudio> Open VS2012 Native Tools Comand Prompt and execute: devenv /setup Results: Help About shows Windows Installer XML 3.7 and File | New Project shows all the expected project types. I created a setup project and a c# custom action project. All seemed well. I then created a C++ custom action project. Intellisense gives me squigglies saying it can't find things like WcaInitialize but when I build the project it compiles. I hope this helps. I'm going to keep refining these procedures as I find issues.
