Description:
When using VS Express, a fatal error occurs when building the project wixca. 

Investigating compilation logs, it's possible to understand that the error is in the file CustomAction.rc, and it's caused by the fact that include file afxres.h is not found.

Content of the file wixca.log under packaging\WiX\ca\wixca.dir\RelWithDebInfo:

Build FAILED.

Time Elapsed 00:00:01.63

How to repeat:
- make sure you have the WiX tool installed and on your path
- execute:
  cmake -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release -G "Visual Studio 10" -DSIGNCODE=0 
  [please note that option -DSIGNCODE=0 is needed as workaround of Bug #58313 - in general you don't need to use this option]
- make sure the output of the previous command do not contain the line "-- Cannot find wix 3, installer project will not be generated""  
- execute:  
  vcexpress MySql.sln /build RelWithDebInfo /project package /out mysql-5.5-build1.txt
  [please note that option /out is used just to write the compilation log to a file]

Suggested fix:
If possible, please replace "afxres.h" with "windows.h" in packaging\WiX\ca\CustomAction.rc (please also make sure that no regressions are created after this change).

========== Build: 5 succeeded, 0 failed, 89 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Note:
After changing "afxres.h" with "windows.h", the windows installer package is correctly created as well. If we execute:

vcexpress MySql.sln /build RelWithDebInfo /project msi /out mysql-5.5-build1.txt

we get:

      Bug #58411 :wixca project fails to build when using Express Edition of VS:
      
      The problem was MFC header file includes into the resource definition file (CustomAction.rc)
      afxres.h is not available with VS Express.
      
      The fix is to remove resource file from compilation and souce code repository. version of
      custom action dll is of no interest for anyone, it is internal dll kept inside the MSI.
