[wix-devs] Votive Support for VS2019

[Rob Mensching]

We'll triage this issue together today. We triage the open issues every other Thursday.

I expect there will be a debate whether this is a change we'll take into WiX v3. Definitely seems like something to go into WiX v4.

With VS 2019 Preview dropping the other day, I've looked into what it'll take to get Votive working in VS 2019.   The approach is simple:  Clone the VS2017 project and rebrand it as VS2019 and update the [15.0-16.0) range to [16.0-17.0) ( min 16  inclusive,  max 17 not inclusive).


I set up an official-unofficial build and was able to confirm successful installation and operation of votive on a clean vm with a fresh installation of VS 2019 preview.


Any feedback?  I'm ready to submit the PR.
