I'm building and installing the wix toolset from source code.
After that I'm going to write a brief overview of how to use the user kit
and possibly with some describings of common problems and troubleshooting.
The best way to reach it that i see is a live code in debug mode.

I have done some changes for a head commit of develop-branch in my forked
experimental branch here
https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix4/commit/0de2583e401b594399a651c7b70520454d8e0ec2
and i have skipped a Fact 'CanManipulateExtensionCache'
as a result: locally build is passing

However I'm not sure if this is a good solution that is related to
MSBuildSdks.

When I open any solution file in Visual Studio, I encounter some errors,
and so I can build nothing. For example, wix.sln.
Before being built with a DCP for VS 2022, there were 25561 errors in 526
files.
After being built with a DCP for VS 2022, there are 95 errors in 33 files.

The remaining Errors are related to a code-style and I don't want to fix
them. I use Visual Studio (2008/2010/2012/2013/2015/2017/2019/2022),
ReSharper tools and GhostDoc extension. What should I do to solve it?
