HeatWave Version

1.0.4.5

Visual Studio Version

17.13.0 Preview 2.0

Repro Steps

Repo: https://github.com/team-charls/netpbm-wic-codec

• git clone https://github.com/team-charls/netpbm-wic-codec
• Open a Visual Studio 2022 17.13 Preview 2.0 Developer prompt
• cd netpbm-wc-codec
• execute msbuild -t:build -p:Configuration=Release -p:Platform=x64

Actual Result

Exception during design-time build: MSB4057 The target "CollectSuggestedVisualStudioComponentIds" does not exist in the project.

Expected Result

Quick fix:
FireGiant.HeatWave.DesignTime.targets
contains empty target :
<Target Name="CollectSuggestedVisualStudioComponentIds" />

OR

Reliable fix:
FireGiant.HeatWave.DesignTime.targets imports DTB targets form project system:
https://github.com/dotnet/project-system/blob/5f3636c2064201fac04017900e0160193ee8627b/src/Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.Managed/ProjectSystem/DesignTimeTargets/Microsoft.Managed.DesignTime.targets#L437

Note: on a clean machine (with no NuGet packaged installed) the Repro Steps requires an explicit msbuild -restore before executing msbuild -t:build -p:Configuration=Release -p:Platform=x64

The Visual Studio team confirmed this issue is a breaking change in VS2022 17.13. We'll address the breaking change when one of our customers requires it.

Until then, you can work around the breaking change by adding the following line to the bottom of your .wixproj.

<Target Name="CollectSuggestedVisualStudioComponentIds" />

Just to clarify @FireGiantHelp are we waiting for a new VS preview release?
I saw a report on this closed as External Other Product: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/VS-1713-Preview-2-breaks-WiX-v5-project/10809797

@jespersh Visual Studio made it clear that this is an expected breaking change. We will need to update HeatWave to adapt to the breaking change.

None of our current customers are on Visual Studio preview builds, so supporting preview builds is not a priority for us. We will release an updated HeatWave to meet our customers' needs.
