Simply run "make.bat" from the dev\wix directory. You can also run "nant," which drives the overall build process. This will build debug bits into the "target" directory by default. To build release bits, run "make ship" or "nant -D:flavor=ship". You can disable building IA64-specific parts of the custom action library by running "nant -D:ia64=false".
In order to fully build WiX, you must have the following Frameworks and SDKs installed:
