WIX7014: Unable to find a backend to process output type: .msi

[mertkokusen]

Hello,

I've tried to build an msi with the first sample in readme file. Bu I am getting the following error.

		static void Main()
		{
			var project = new Project("MyProduct",
				  new Dir(@"%ProgramFiles%\My Company\My Product",
					  new File(@"App.exe")));

			project.GUID = new Guid("6f330b47-2577-43ad-9095-1861ba25889b");

			Compiler.BuildMsi(project);
		}

Wix project file has been built: C:\WixSharp Setup1\bin\Debug\net472\MyProduct.wxs

Compiling MyProduct.wxs
Source base directory: C:\WixSharp Setup1\bin\Debug\net472
Wix version: 4.0.6
wix.exe : error WIX7014: Unable to find a backend to process output type: .msi for output file: C:\WixSharp Setup1\bin\Debug\net472\MyProduct.msi. Specify a different output type or output file extension.

Can't seem to find anything about the error code WIX7014 anywhere.

if I call BuildMsi method with a path agrument the setup gets generated.

Compiler.BuildMsi(project,"path.msi");

I suspect this is a culture issue (beacause of Turkish lower ı issue). Somewhere a ToLower should be changed to ToLowerInvariant to resolve this issue.

Then it might be a bug.
Can you please send me your path with that 'Turkish lower ı'. I can try to reproduce it.
Most likely your guess about ToLowerInvariant is correct.
