I'm having some trouble creating a setup project with WiX. I'm using version 8.0 of ADX.
Thus far I've tried with versions 4.0 and 3.11 of WiX.


When I try to build the setup project with 4.0 I get
torch.exe : error TRCH0001 : Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

Exception Type: System.InvalidOperationException

Stack Trace:
at WixToolset.Bind.BindTransformCommand.CompareFiles(String targetFile, String updatedFile)
at WixToolset.Bind.BindTransformCommand.Execute()
at WixToolset.Binder.BindTransform(Output transform, String outputPath)
at WixToolset.Binder.Bind(Output output, String file)
at WixToolset.Tools.Torch.Run(String[] args)



When I try to build the setup project with 3.11 I get
The "HeatProject" task could not be loaded from the assembly \WixTasks.dll. Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\WixTasks.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.

Hi Nektrasa,

I would suggest not using the "weekly releases" of WiX because they may contain bugs. Please install 3.9 R2 or 3.10.2 (these are stable releases), re-create your setup project and build it.

Please let me know about the results in any case.
