[wix-devs] Error in build

[Mark Stega]

I had an update to VS2022 17.1 and the Wix4 build stopped working. I added a root level global.json, but was advised to post the error first.

>From a VS2022 17.0.5 developer command prompt (and after removing the global.json) I did a 'build clean' followed by a 'build'.

The build worked.

So I did another 'build clean' followed by another 'build'.

This failed (I marked the errors with >>> below hopefully with enough context:
