Steps taken... 1. Uninstall 3.7, reboot 2. Install 3.8 (votive) 3. using VS2012 create sample wix project 4. uninstall votive 5. extract wix38-binaries to ...\Wix\bin 6. edit above sample wix project per wixtoolset.org guidelines (see wix38test.wixproj below) 7. open vs2012 x86 command prompt 8. switch to folder that contains the above test solution file 9. execute "msbuild WiX38Tester.sln /p:Configuration=Release > junk.txt 2>&1" 10. msbuild "crashes", junk.txt shown below...
