You're right: WIX needed to be fixed.
Replacing the string
'Windows Installer XML v3'
with
'WiX Toolset v3.7' //my version installed'
in
C:\ProgramData\TideSDK\sdk\win32\1.3.1-beta\win32_app.py
has solved the packing issue. (even with light.exe errors, it works)
here the new log:
Preparing to package desktop app together with runtime. One moment...

Done packaging!
Anyway, the error messages that I was talking about are something like 20 modal windows fired consecutively when trying to launch/execute the app.
When I rename the xampp folder I can launch/debug, and execute the app from package...without any modal error.
I've tryed to install a new version of xampp (1.8.1) and... nice, with a clean installation only one error:
PHP Startup: bz2: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with build ID=API 20100525
PHP compiled with build ID=API20090626
These options need to match
Why TideSDK hates XAMPP?
Really: couldn't it be that the application tries to use the default system resources first?
