To solve what exactly?

One quick note, you'll want to build using build.cmd from the root before opening any .sln files. That build.cmd will make sure all the (many) dependencies are in place and everything successfully built once.

Subject: [wix-devs] WiX toolset v4.0: Build Exp

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?
