Can't compile any tools (specifically dark.exe)

[omriinbar-cyesec]

Encountered at: wixtoolset/wix3

Detail:
I'm trying to compile dark.exe but using visual studio (tried 2019 and 2022) but no matter what I do, I keep getting this error:
Strong name validation for the WiX toolset must be disabled on a developer machine to build. Execute 'msbuild C:\Users\user\source\repos\wix32\tools\OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj' from an elevated command prompt.
does anyone know how to fix this?
thank you.

First, you need to msbuild tools/OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj elevated. Then, you'll want to build the wix.proj to get everything built once. Then you can iterate on a single tool.

tools/OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj: Can't find that in the repo. Has it been renamed?

@ijuedt are you looking in the wix3 repos? I see it at https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/blob/develop/tools/OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj

@chrpai My fault not seeing I'm in a wix 3 thread here. I've got wix 4 issues.
