Subject: [WiX-users] Build order problems Votive vs MSBuild

We've run into this issue in which it appears as though our .sln builds 
correctly when built through VS (Votive installed), but when built using 
MSBuild, the WiX project dependencies appear to be ignored.  This results in a 
build order problem (csproj is built _after_ wixproj that needs its output).  
If the build order is forced (manually add a dependency in the sln file), the 
MSBuild build works fine.  As such, it appears as if MSBuild is used on the 
.sln, the auto generated project dependency list (and thus build order) is not 
correct.

NOTE:  We do NOT have WiX installed on our build server.  I have modified our 
wixproj files per 
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/msbuild/daily_builds.html.

I found an old thread titled "Problem with build order under MSBuild 4.0"
(4/14/10) that describes an identical issue.  And another thread titled 
"Wix3.6.1518.0 to 3.6.1915.0 issue" (7/20/11) in which this bug 
http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/bugs/2588/ is linked.  But I can't tell if the bug 
was fixed or just closed.

Any ideas?

VS/TFS2012, Wix 3.8
