How to figure out what is the problem?

I am getting this in the compile:

What version of the WiX toolset were you using previously? My first
hypothesis is that validation is failing. Can you try adding "-sval" to the
command line (Suppress Validation checkbox in Votive)? If that works, you'll
probably want to find another way of running validation on your MSI.
smoke.exe can do just that.

I was using 3.5.2208.0 and I moved my original solution file to a C: drive for
integration testing.
The recompile got me the error LGHT0216 with code 0x65B occurred.
So, I thought maybe if I upgrade to the latest 3.5.2229.0, the problem would go
away, but it did not.

What I did was I added "-sval" in the Visual Studio for Additional parameters
for the Compiler: , now, I can see the errors and warnings, which was hidden
before.
It was telling me I had a duplicated GUID id in my file; After fixing that I am
able to generate the msi file.

Thank you, Rob!

Brian
