title: msbuild Wix toolset 3.7 source code in VS2012
body: <p>I am trying to manually build the wix toolset 3.7 on a windows 8 machine that has VS2012 installed, but I keep on running into the following error:</p>
  
  <p><em>error WIXBUILD002: Error the "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Frame 4" or "Visual Studio 2012" must be installer.</em></p>
  
  <p>According to the wix documentation  <a href="http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/wixdev/building_wix.html" rel="nofollow">http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/wixdev/building_wix.html</a></p>
  
  <p>it should work when the command: msbuild /p:VisualStudioVersion="11.0" is used.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>By changing the <code>&lt;PlatformSdkInstallPath&gt;</code> in the WixBuild.props file from 8.0 to 8.0A WIXBUILD002 error is solved. But, now I am get about 72 errors, mostly related to the MSBUILD </p>
