Do you mind logging a bug on the _TimeStampAfterCompile? I'll look into that.
As far as forcing a recompile... You can do that by including your inputs into your .wixproj project file as <Content> elements. In Votive, you do this by selecting "Content" from the Build Type property in the property browser (hit F4 if it's not showing). If you're working just with the MSBuild .wixproj file, you can just add <Content>Relative path to file</Content> in an <ItemGroup> section. When compiling, I account for the <Content> elements to trigger a rebuild if they change.

Ignoring that though, what I really want to be able to do is set dependencies on my Votive project to force it to recompile when my inputs change (say A.exe as an example). I've tried adding A.exe as a reference, but that doesn't work, nor does adding it as an embedded resource in the project. I must be missing something.
