Ahh, interesting. I would not have guessed that causes problems. We should ensure all the projects have the ToolsVersion set to avoid future build issues.
Note: 5490 is slated to go into WiX v4. That means we won't be taking this fix into WiX v3.x so you should work in the wix4 repo (since the harvesting work isn't extracted into it's own repo yet).

Subject: Re: [wix-devs] wix3 build errors
The solution was to patch
`src/ext/DifxAppExtension/wixlib/DIFxAppExtension.wixproj` as follows.
```
-<Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="
http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
+<Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="
http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" ToolsVersion="4.0"> ```
Now I will be able to schedule some work for myself (to begin in a few weeks). I will fork the wix3 repo so I can build this feature:
https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5490
I will email this list when the work is completed.
Thanks for your help everyone.
