We're keeping an eye on the problem and hope to hear back from Visual Studio folks by the next meeting, so stay tuned.

As usual, today's meeting covered triage mixed with design discussions galore. Then, in response to questions from Ron watching live, we talked about how the WiX integration tests run during the CI build in virtual machines and how developers could run them on local VMs. Finally, Rob briefly announced a new prerelease build of WiX v3.14 is now available for download, containing all the latest changes and fixes in that branch.
