After installation of 4.12.1.0, creating a new iswix solution (either version) errors out with VS 2017 15.8.4/15.8.5

The error is below. It creates the folders for the solution but no files are created underneath them:

This issue is not there with the previous version 4.11.18042.1...just FYI.

It sounds like a missing dependency. You did remove this dependency here, but you may still need it: 67b3037#diff-a0b02469e831dbdafed297e01e323e03

I also use Resharper and VsVim within Visual Studio. If you can't reproduce, I can provide all my plugins.

I apologize as I never noticed an alert for this issue. I assume you've gone back to a previous version of IsWiX and are operational. I will look at this issue this weekend. Will you be available to test a fix? Do you know what the missing dependency is? GlobalParams? That component was marked as permenant so perhaps if you install a previous version then install the latest version it will work. I haven't begun my root cause investigation yet.

Root cause complete. GlobalParams.dll was a runtime dependency of both the old and the new addin but was only included in the old addin feature for the installer. I've made the code change and will release the new build very soon.

Release 4.12.2.0 published. Please retest and confirm issue resolution and I'll close the issue.
