Wix 6 upgrade?

[jackalford2]

I have updated all of our build machines from wix5 to wix6 but one of them just refuses to cooperate. What am I missing?

I changed the WixToolset.Sdk/5.0.0 to WixToolset.Sdk/6.00 in the .wixproj files but when I try and reload any of the projects in VS I get this error msg:

.wixproj error : The project file cannot be opened by the project system, because it is missing some critical imports or the referenced SDK cannot be found.

and I have installed wix 6 like on all the other machines:

C:>where wix
C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset v6.0\bin\wix.exe

C:>wix --version
6.0.0+8c7432e

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Jack

The .wixproj use the WixToolset.Sdk package, so installing the wix package has no impact. Instead, try running MSBuild -Restore -bl in the directory with your .wixproj and see if there is any more detailed information in the generated msbuild.binlog.

Thanks Rob. I see this in that .binlog file. Interesting that if I change it back to the 5.0.0 sdk it will load and build just fine.

wix.exe error WIX0001: System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains more than one matching element

That error message sounds like #9028
