Hello,
I have an existing WiX project that I am setting up for daily builds
following the instructions at
https://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/msbuild/daily_builds.html.
However I am getting an issue compiling a custom action. For some reason
msbuild is using candle to try to compile the .cs file
Here is the relevant section from .csproj
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="CustomAction.cs"/>
<Compile Include="Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs"/>
<Content Include="CustomAction.config"/>
</ItemGroup>
Here is msbuild output
