Wix Compiler [Candle] Action
This action provides an interface to the WiX compiler (candle.exe.) The compiler compiles .wxs source files to .wixobj object files, which are then linked by the WiX Linker (light.exe)
Compiler Options
Source Files
Specify one or more .wxs files to compile. For information on the .wxs format, see the 'doc' directory of your WiX installation.
Output
Output can be delivered to the default directory or a specific object file. Alternatively, the source files can just be parsed and no object files generated.
Source output
Suppress schema validation of documents
Parse Options
Pedantic Checks
Specifies how closely the compiler should check source file syntax. "Legendary" is more pedantic than "Heroic", and "Heroic" is more pedantic than "Easy" (the names correspond to the command line options.)
Easy
Heroic
Legendary

Warning messages will be recorded in the FinalBuilder log.
Fail on Warnings
Warnings will be treated as errors and the build will stop if any occur.
Verbose Output
More progress data will be logged (useful for debugging.)
Suppress copyright header
The WiX copyright header will not be displayed. Useful for a smaller log size.
