Wix Build Error

Question

When starting wix, I get the following error:

with error MSB4019: Imported project "C: \ Program Files \ MSBuild \ Microsoft \ WiX \ v3.x \ Wix.targets not found. Make sure that the path in the declaration is correct and that the file exists on disk.

Answer 1

Not sure about other issues that might cause this, but I didn't know that Wix was not installed with ms build.

I tried to create a project that was sitting on our build server and ran into this problem.

You need to first download and install it from http://wix.sourceforge.net/ .

Another widely used package are the MSBuild community tasks available from

https://github.com/loresoft/msbuildtasks

The latest stable release can be downloaded from a bit called nightly builds!

This will give a similar error message.
