When running a wixproj from a command shell using relative pathing to wix extensions, I'm getting error CNDL0144 on the v3 release 4513. It was working fine the previous version we used - 3704. It is also working fine in Visual Studio.

Example:

<wixextension include="WixUtilExtension">
<hintpath>..\Tools\WiX\Bin\WixUtilExtension.dll</hintpath>
</wixextension>

I tried deleting and re-adding the references, and the diff between
the WixExtensions in the wixproj was the same between 3704 and 4513
versions of WiX, so it looks like something has changed which breaks
relative referencing.

    Can you post what the resulting candle.exe command line looks like?

    In v3.0.4813.0, if I have this item group:

    <WixExtension Include="WixUtilExtension">
      <HintPath>..\WixUtilExtension.dll</HintPath>
    </WixExtension>
    

    both Candle and Light get the command-line argument

    -ext ..\WixUtilExtension.dll
    

    and correctly load the extension.
