When building a Custom Action DLL with the WiX Toolset, I always get the error:

The command ""C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin..\sdk\MakeSfxCA.exe" "Z:\backend\SetupParseConnStr\obj\x86\Debug\InstallerCA.CA.dll" "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin..\sdk\x86\SfxCA.dll" "Z:\backend\SetupParseConnStr\obj\x86\Debug\InstallerCA.dll" "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\SDK\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll;C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices\15.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35\Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll;Z:\backend\SetupParseConnStr\CustomAction.config"" exited with Code 1.

I already found Post Build exited with code 1 but I don't find where to check/change that command line, because I have no commands in post-build.

The path 

C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin..\sdk\MakeSfxCA.exe

needs a backslash after bin

C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\..\sdk\MakeSfxCA.exe

My guess is that you have explicitly set a property in your .wixproj to

C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin

and you need to modify that to end with a backslash.
