问题
Just installed Visual Studio 2017 and wix extension and when trying to build a solution which uses Wix I get the following error:
Error The WiX Toolset v3.11 (or newer) build tools must be installed to build this project. Could not find wix.targets at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\'. To download WiX Toolset v3.11 (or newer), see http://wixtoolset.org/releases/ Installer C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets 10
In folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\" I have the following files
2017-11-29 15:12 <DIR> .

2017-02-27 23:52 146 067 wix2010.targets
Which includes the file "wix.targets" which Visual Studio reports as missing. What am I doing wrong?
回答1:
A computer-restart later and its now working. So if someone have the same problem I recommend this after installing WiX. (restarting visual studio was not enough)
回答2:
I tried the above solution and wasn't able to resolve the issue even after repeated reinstall and reboots.
I removed the existing setup project and created a new setup project, this solved my issue. Caution, backup your setup project before removing it so you don't loose your work or have to recreate from scratch.
May be a tip to others who might be stuck with the issue even after reinstall and reboots.
回答3:
Open your csprog project file with notepad and edit this line (in my case I use WiX version 4)
From:
<WixCATargetsPath Condition=" '$(WixCATargetsPath)' == '' ">$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\WiX Toolset\v4\Wix.CA.targets</WixCATargetsPath>
To:
<WixCATargetsPath Condition=" '$(WixCATargetsPath)' == '' ">C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v4.0\SDK\Wix.CA.targets</WixCATargetsPath>
