I'm hoping that someone out there might be able to enlighten me as to what is happening with my attempts to install the WiX VS2017 Extensions. When I attempt to install via the VS2017 Extension manager the process fails. The follow is content from the associated error log:

VS2017 Is a completely fresh install and as far as I can see was completely successful. After installing VS2017, I immediately went to the VS Extension Manager and selected the WiX Installer Extension. On closing VS as instructed, the above error was generated. Install was carried out as administrator.
