Where is the file 'wixca.dll' if I have WiX 3 installed

Question

Following the recommendations here we created a custom action which references wixca.dll. Other places on the net they say this should just be installed with the WiX installer, but I can't find the file anywhere.

I see another question where someone else experienced this in pursuit of logging, but eventually did not use the custom action.

You probably need to include a reference to WixUtilExtension in your Wix project.

Hmm, do you actually need WixCA.dll in WiX 3? I didn't think that was applicable anymore.

Yes. I see that the referenced example on sourceforge's site is not the way to do this anymore. Thanks. – Randy Eppinger Feb 22 '10 at 21:48
