I have a VS 2012 solution with WiX Installer projects. However, when I open the solution in VS 2013 (Release) the WiX project is incompatible.

Does anyone know where

    Update 2013-12-02: WiX Toolset 3.8 is released with official support for Visual Studio 2013 editions. It is available for download from wixtoolset.org.

    You can manually enable Visual Studio 2013 compatibility with older versions of WiX:

    1. Copy
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\WiX to
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\WiX

    2. Modify
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\WiX\extension.vsixmanifest by adding the following:

      <VisualStudio Version="12.0">
    <Edition>Ultimate</Edition>
    <Edition>Premium</Edition> 
    <Edition>Pro</Edition>
    <Edition>Express_All</Edition>
</VisualStudio>

    3. Then open VS2013 Native Tools Command Prompt (from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts) and execute:

      devenv /setup

    When you open Visual Studio 2013, WiX 3.7 projects will be compatible.

    With WiX 3.7, even if you cannot open wixproj in Visual Studio 2013, it does compile using MSBuild for a VS2013 solution. (change wixproj ToolsVersion="12.0")

    After running the toolkit installer for wix:

    For Wix 3.8 and 3.9, with Visual Studio 2012 and 2013, I was required to delete all the cache files in:

    "%appdata%..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ComponentModelCache" (for VS 2012) and "%appdata%..\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache" (for VS 2013) respectively.

    After deleting these files, execute from command prompt for each version of VS:

    devenv /setup

    e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv /setup"

    and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv /setup"

    Only after I deleted these files and restarted the machine did executing "devenv /setup" have the desired effect.

    If these cache files are not deleted first, then you may experience a problem where your packages fail to load properly. You will know if your packages fail to load because VS will fail miserably upon startup.

    the latest Wix installer seems to correct the installation without any configuration.

    1. close all visual studios. run the .exe at https://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/136891.
    2. A fancy red splashcreen appears, click the centre section titled "install", this reinstalls Wix for all versions of VS on your machine.

    worked for me.

    You must upgrade your wix and install WIX 3.9 to make your WIX Project compatible with vs 2013. Below is the link to download wix 3.9 https://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/136891

    If you install VS2013 after WiX you will have to uninstall WiX then reinstall it. Just repairing the WiX installation is not sufficient.
