What if you add false To your .wixproj? I expect you're hitting an interplay between solutions and projects. That MSBuild property disables Visual Studio from creating magical properties only available when you build the .sln file. If that is set and the build fails then my hypothesis i

Don't build .sln files. They haved all sorts of strange behavior w.r.t. MSBuild. The .sln files are just "workspaces" that you can open in VS and get a slice of the WiX toolset to work on. Go to the root of the project and MSBuild the wix.proj. It's the only project file there so you can just typ
