How to configure visual studio’s solution to open/compile wix projects without wix 3.6 installing on the machine?
In other words the situation that I want to get is: developer after “Get Latest”, together with sources, get all wix tools when solution is ready yo use them (build msi).
I have seen the article about that a half of year ago but now I can’t find it without your help.
The article you mention is likely the one describing how to build WiX projects on a build server where WiX Toolset is not installed the usual way (via MSI package). It is called Integrating WiX Projects into the daily builds and is also available in WiX.chm under Working with MSBuild folder.
You’ll be able to build WiX projects on a build server and locally on a developer machine, but not from the Visual Studio – for the reason explained by Bob in his answer.
