Simply run "make.bat" in the root of the WiX project. This will build into a release\debug directory by default. Specifying "make.bat ship" will create ship binaries in release\ship. If you installed VS.NET to a non standard directory, specify "make.bat debug fullpathto\devenv.com" to build.
In order to fully build WiX, you must have the following Frameworks and SDKs installed:
To build Sconce and Votive, you must have the following SDKs installed:

To successfully build the WiX MSBuild tasks, you need to modify NAnt.exe.config file to support the release version of the .NET Framework (instead of the beta 1 release supported in NAnt 0.85 rc3). Make a backup copy of Nant.exe.config and search for the following <framework> element:
<framework name="net-2.0" ...
Replace it with the following element:
<framework name="net-2.0" family="net" version="2.0" description="Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0" runtimeengine="" sdkdirectory="${path::combine(sdkInstallRoot, 'bin')}" frameworkdirectory="${path::combine(installRoot, 'v2.0.50727')}" frameworkassemblydirectory="${path::combine(installRoot, 'v2.0.50727')}" clrversion="2.0.50727" >
