First I would like to say, thank you for this awesome project!

I was working on a project that required me to make a .msi installer for it. Whenever I would try to build the Wix project, my Visual Studio would crash with an uncaught exception. After some trial and error, I was able to determine that having both Wix and Visual Studio Achievement would cause the crash. I am usually able to get the .msi so it's not a huge problem, but still a rather large inconvenience. I was able to fix the issue by uninstalling Visual Studio achievements.

I am using Visual Studio Ultimate 2012, and unfortunately I am unable to get a stack trace, or anything to that effect, because it is an uncaught exception.

I have posted a link on the Visual Studio Achievements form with this issue as well.
