.vcproj references are not supported. Reference the recent thread (last
monday) w/Subject : Add reference to setup project in Visual Studio 2008.
Essentially Justin R notes, "Unfortunately .vcproj references aren't supported
because they're not MSBuild compliant. There is a feature request out there to
add this support..."

Subject: [WiX-users] Cannot add project references in VS2008SP1 with Wix
3.04429.0
I have the latest Wix 3.04429.0 and VS2008+sp1 installed. When I tried
to use macros like
<File Id="foo" Name="$(var.foo.TargetFileName)" DiskId="1"
Source="$(var.foo.TargetPath)" >
I failed.
It seemed to be caused by the fact I cannot add project references
available from the same solution, after complete the steps of adding the
project reference, a yellow exclamation was linked to the icon of the
added project,
When I built the Wix project, it refused to build with the error.
I checked the wixproj file, the following item is already added:
<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\foo\foo.vcproj">
<Name>foo</Name>
<Project>{424988f2-0de1-4e90-b7e1-b958a0ba4834}</Project>
<Private>True</Private>
</ProjectReference>
</ItemGroup>
I also noticed that in the VS IDE when I checked the property of the
added project under the references node, the Full Path is empty and read
only.
I tried it in two workstations with the same result.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
