[wix-devs] Error in build

[Sean Hall]

>From what I understand, the files src\Directory.Packages.props and
src\global.json is generated once. They are the stateful parts of the
build, and deleted as part of clean. The versions in those files are
populated by the git height. When building any of the binaries or Nuget
packages, the version is calculated the same way. But for those, the
version is always recalculated. I don't know how those versions can get out
of sync when you're doing a build directly after a clean, but I would
expect them to get out of sync after committing.

I think I've seen this before, but it was always a warning. I didn't enable
turning warnings into errors for the extensions, so maybe a preview version
is turning those warnings into errors? I don't see how fixing the SDK
version in the global.json would help, or why putting it in the root
directory would help.
