Wix Setup Editor Root Element Missing - wix3.11

Using wix setup editor / Wix toolset latest build and Wax.
I managed to create my setup project just fine on Friday. However, going back to it today and trying to load the setup editor I am met with this message.
I have tried to navigate to the file path it shows however, such a file does not exist.
I have tried reinstalling all three components to no avail.
Quite stumped here, does anybody know why this would suddenly happen upon re-opening VS a few days later?

table-scroll.min.js and table-scroll.js files are missing from my Visual Studio 2019 MVC project

table-scroll.min.js and table-scroll.js files are missing from my Visual Studio 2019 MVC project.
I have no Idea where they came from, but I have added NuGet packages. Also, my layout page and styles of the project (web application) are not functioning as expected. As a result, the front end of the application is not displaying as expected.
I have searched online, but could not come up with a thing that is working for me.
I made a backup to my project previously, so I took the missing files from there, and added them to my current project. That solved the problem, and the web application displays as
expected.
I lost the files when I was using a software version control, the mistake has to do
with checking some files with the project. The needed files where not added to the checked in software.

The CN1 Intellij Plugin is suddenly disabled on old project. Is it safe to delete an old ~/cn1Settngs/CN1Properties to fix this?

Strange issue I'm having and I want to know what to do to fix it without compromising project integrity.
I have a CN1 project in Intellij (v 2017.1.4) that I started a long time ago. The other day I started a new CN1 project to try out something new. It pulled down the latest CN1 libs (the properties file says version 174 is the libVersion) and worked fine for testing.
Now I open my original project and the CodenameOne functions are all greyed out (projectLibs version in the properties file is 159). The icon on the context menu and menu-bar are greyed out. The plugin is up to date (3.7.2). I see no messages or errors in the IntelliJ "messages" section.
I am assuming that the new project and libs re-wrote something common to both projects and now the old project can't even start the plugin to let it pull down new libs... In experimenting, I went to my home directory ~/.cn1Settings and renamed the "CN1Preferences" file so that the project would have to create a new one. When I opened the project it DID create a new one and the plugin was working.
So here's the big question: If I abandon my old CN1Preferences file, what settings/customizations in that file am I walking away from and will I need to make sure I set correctly again to ensure my project works as it should and doesn't have any hard to debug issues?
This is probably an issue of keeping two windows concurrently, try closing both projects and opening only one at a time. There is an issue with detecting the correct project in the IntelliJ/IDEA plugin

Visual Studio 2013 crashing when saving Windows Forms solution

I have been working on a particular solution for a few months now without any problems. The last thing of significance that I remember doing was refactoring the name of a custom control inheriting from RichTextBox. I don't know if that is related to the problem but it seemed to be when the problems started occurring. For some reason now when I show the main form in design view and save any changes I get the message "Visual Studio has stopped working blah blah" and it restarts.
I seem to be able to load and make changes to other solutions ok.
So far I've tried:
Deleting .sln and v12.sln files
Have tried uninstalling NuGet. (I don't have any extensions other than NuGet and Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Library for JavaScript)
I don't have resharper
I have tried to start in /SafeMode but I keep getting the error "'Visual Studio Component Model Host Package' package did not load correctly". I can't seem to load any solutions in SafeMode.
Repaired VS2013 installation twice
Restarted my computer many times
Tried writing a log file using /log switch but can't really understand how to interpret it.
Any pointers would be very welcome.

Silverlight out of browser application cannot start

If I enable the Out of Browser application setting, the application doesn't run, doesn't even debug. Visual Studio compiles the app, switches to Debug layout but ends immediately.
Any ideas?
Created a new Silverlight project and moved all the files to the new one. Now it works without problems. I have no explanation for this but it worked!
Have you done steps mentioned in these 2 links?

For anyone else coming across this problem, I also just had this occur. I followed Elodie's suggestion and created a new project and doing folder comparisons. Eventually it came down to an InBrowserSettings xml file. It was fixed by manually editing the .csproj file to remove the reference to that file and then deleting it from the Properties folder.

Silverlight Web Project shows install icon when debugging

When I add a Silverlight project to a blank solution, it asks me whether I want to add a web project to host the silverlight page or automatically generate a test page. Oddly enough, when I automatically generate a test page, everything in fine. However, when I add the web project I have problems.
I first get an error saying that it needs System.Web.Silverlight.dll in the bin folder of the web, so I do this. Then when I run it, all I get is the “Install Silverlight” icon. I’ve tried playing with and/or removing the minimum version tag and the version tag, but I just can’t seem to get it to work that way.
Has anyone had this problem before? If so, how did you get around it?
Sounds like you've got an old toolkit installed or the project template is corrupt.
Try a re-install the lattest Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio
To get rid of the first error, go to your references in your web project, and go to the properties for System.Web.Silverlight and go to its properties. Make CopyLocal true.
To get rid of the install icon problem, go to the Silverlight control markup in your aspx page and remove the MinimumVersion attribute. This doesn't seem like te most ideal solution, but at least one can debug.
