I'm having problems with project build order trying to build solutions
with Wix projects using the .Net 4.0 MSBuild.

I have a solution with an exe project and a Wix setup project to install
the exe.  The Wix project contains a reference to the setup project.
When I build the solution in VS2010 it works fine.  When I build it
using MSBuild it tries to build the Wix project before it tries to build
the exe.  If I edit the solution and force a reference at the solution
level (instead of just relying on the inferred reference in the wixproj)
MSBuild works fine.

So the problem appears to be that MSBuild is having trouble figuring out
dependencies from wixproj files; I took a quick look through the .NET
4.0 common targets & wix targets files but didn't see anything obvious.
This problem occurs in both 3.5.1419 (the version of Wix that VS2010
installed through the extensions manager) and 3.5.1602 (the most recent
build).

Can anyone offer any help?
