OK, so that brings up the first problem I encountered that led me to this 
juncture.  The project I need to reference won't show up in the Project 
References list even though  I have it defined as a dependency in the installer 
project.  I think it's because it's an SSIS project and this project type must 
not be allowed as a wix project reference.  Does anyone have any info that can 
confirm this assumption?  Or, how do I get around this problem?

Thanks.

You can use these variables:
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/votive/votive_project_references.html
Note that they're available only within a Visual Studio context.

As far as I remmember you can use $(var.ProjectDir) for your own project as 
well as the other project-reference variables.
