The 1.4.x branch and releases can't be compiled without hacking with
VS2008, but you can build the trunk with it just fine. In fact, the
trunk now builds better with VS2008 than with VS2005 since that's what
I'm using now.

Known issue. neon < 0.28 has that problem. But I sent a patch to Joe
Orton, and neon 0.28 has this fixed now.

it's mentioned in build.txt on trunk.

If you haven't changed the wxs files apart from what you've mentioned,
it should work (and use the merge module of gdiplus, not the dll).

Are you using WiX v2? Because WiX v3 doesn't work (but I think you would
get different errors).
