WIX 3.9 compatibility Issue

[wixbot]

Hi Team ,

We have issue related with latest WIX Version of installer.
We uses wix along with Visual Studio 2013 for packaging.
Also our customer uses Orca tool to unzip merge module (.msm file).

Issue :
If I create a project in Visual Studio 2013 with Wix 3.5 version , customer can unzip it with Orca 3.1
But If I create a project in Visual Studio 2013 with Wix 3.9 version , customer can’t unzip it with Orca 3.1
They get's following error .

Error: Merge conflict in Database Table: _Validation & Module Table: _Validation - Row(s): _ValidationCategory Total merge conflicts: 1

I can reproduce this in my system also.

We uses following command line to unzip it in orca.
"orca" -m “Package.msm" -f ProductFeature -x " \Extracted" -l “DetailedLog.txt" "\orca_target.dat"

Could you please guide me in proper direction .

How can I manage WIX version mismatch?

Thanks in Advance

It's likely that Orca v3.1 doesn't handle validation for MSI 5.0 features, which WiX supports. Validation errors should be ignorable; look for a switch that tells Orca to warn instead of error.
