I converted my vdproj project using ".vdproj to WiX" which completed successfully. During the wix build within Visual Studio 2012 I am receiving "The system cannot find the file..." error for some third-party referenced assemblies and some (not all) XML Doc files. The XML files do exists in the output directory... The setup project in VS2010 built without any issues. Please advise...

Thanks...

Below is an exmaple:

Hi Richard,

Please activate logging in the converter and convert the problematic setup again. The converter will generate the log info into the Output window of Visual Studio. Then you can copy the log and send it to me on the support e-mail. Also, please send me the vdproj and wixproj files too.

To activate logging please do the following steps:

1. Run the regedit.exe tool 'As Administartor'.
2. Find the ' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Add-in Express\InstalledProducts\VDProj to WiX Converter ' registry key. If OS is 64 bits, the will be 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Add-in Express\InstalledProducts\VDProj to WiX Converter '.
3. Create the EnableLog variable (DWORD) under the 'VDProj to WiX Converter' key and set the value to 1.
4. Restart Visual Studio.

Hi Richard,

We got your email, thank you. This is a bug in our code related to documentation files located in a project output. We will fix it in the next build.
