Subject: Re: [wix-devs] (no subject)
Another minor issue, I have run into working on a v4 WixBA is that I created a VS solution (with my build scripts) to which I added the WixBA.csproj for editing in the IDE. (I don't build in the IDE but use build scripts to call the .proj files defined in the wix4 source.)
However when I try to add the bundle.wixproj to this solution I get an 'Unrecognized guid format" error. I can edit the bundle files with notepad++ but it would be nice to load this project into the VS IDE.
This error is also observed when working with the wix3 bundle.wixproj.
Any thoughts on this issue?

I created a build script to call the Clean target on the CoreMsi.wixproj, and that seems to have resolved the build problems without having to rebuild the whole wix4 tree. Thanks for the help.

I get this issue intermittently on wix3 and wix4. I can always get it working by using clean and then building again. It hasn't happened often enough for me to look into it.
