[wix-users] How to use WiX in a referenced NuGet-Package

[Kuch3n]

Solved:
The default value of PrivateAssets of a PackageReference element is "contentfiles;analyzers;build". Therefore the props file won't be loaded. Setting it to "<PrivateAssets>contentfiles;analyzers</PrivateAssets>" will load the props file.
