The "-bf" flag needs to be passed to lit.exe when building the wixlib or the binaries will not actually be in the wixlib--"Bound". "Unbound" is the default.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Build order problems Votive vs MSBuild I'm not sure what you mean by "unbound" wixlibs, but I do have a setup like this... a.csproj b.csproj wl.wixproj <-- references a and b to make a wixlib wx.wixproj <-- references wl.wixproj to make the msi But again, I still had an issue when the PreBuild and/or BeforeBuild actions ran on wl.wixproj. They would run either before a.csproj or before b.csproj, but never before (except when built via VS) wl.wixproj like I wanted. Thanks for the test project file. When I get some downtime I'll give it a try. Maybe it will help me understand the MSBuild build order that has plagued me. I really hope Microsoft drops the current solution file format and replaces it with a true MSBuild project file. I think that would make some of these issues easier to resolve.
