[wix-devs] wixlib\util.wixproj

Build the whole repo and you'll get wix.exe to build MSIs at the command line (like Preview Zero).

What does it take to get VS 2019 to recognize wixlib\util.wixproj?

I'm guessing that I need to install Wix 4 and/or the VS2019 add-on for VS 2019.

I'm working in Util.wixext.sln and the changes I make to scauser.cpp don't seem to be getting into my .msi file. I need to better understand the build dependencies and the procedures required to get my code into my .msi file?

For reference, in case you missed the background, I'm working on issue 5371, which is a new feature rather than a bug.
I could also use some guidance on unit and integration tests that require an actual installation to be performed to verify correct operation. I can test what I need manually, but my methods are insufficient for regression testing.

Even though I attended the most recent meeting, I was denied the opportunity to contribute because I couldn't log into Twitch. When my ISP assigned me a new IP address, Twitch could not recognize my equipment. To re-establish confidence, Twitch sent me a verification message, which I never could receive. On Friday, Twitch support turned off the requirement for me to verify (for 24 hours), so I could get back in. 
However, I'm concerned that the next time my IP address lease expires, I'll be right back where I was. My ISP could be blocking emails based on an excessive rate of traffic, but all other types of messages from Twitch have gotten through.

On issue 4770, I have suggested that I could write a converter to convert the existing boolean <? if ... ?>'s to <?ifdef ... ?>'s and make former illegal. Is there any interest in this? You were discussing issue 4770 at the beginning of the meeting.
