Yes, but it's very messy and you really need an eye for how to read the detailed or diagnostic log.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Build order problems Votive vs MSBuild Rob it could be that issue though we have very, very few solution dependencies (the primary reason for this as described in the linked blog entry). I just checked we have 2 solution based dependencies out of ~280 projects (1 to link a C++ project to a C# consumer and 1 to link 4 C# projects to a soon-to-be replaced InstallShield project). Any one know if I turn up the logging on MSBuild if I can "see" each project's dependency 'tree' as MSBuild see it?
