I'm new to the WiX utility. I was getting the following error message "candle.exe : error CNDL0103 : The system cannot find the file 'Create' with type 'Source'." and spent several hours combing through the XML and the tutorial web page trying to figure this out.
By sheer luck I happened to open the make.cmd file and saw the following.
"%wix%bin\candle.exe" Create MSI.wxs
I immediately realized I had missed the " double quotes around the Create MSI.WXS parameter.
The above error message did not explain that this was a "missing command line paramter". If that had been in the text I would've instantly known where the problem was. I'm also well aware that parameters in cmd files must be placed in double quotes. I simply forgot in this instance.
I would suggest that all error messages dealing with commnad line parameters also mention that it's a command line problem.
