I have a WiX setup project that was previously on WiX 3.
I upgraded it to v4 using HeatWave from the marketplace.

I installed this Wax extension hoping to modify the setup project, but the extension seems to be non-functional?

I have a couple of wxs and wxi files within the WiX project but how do I trigger the WaX editor to load them? The entire WaX UI seem to be disabled and doesn't let me do anything with it.

Looks like they changed the project guid of wix projects in 4.0, so it does not recognize the project.
Since this does only work well with NetFramework projects, but not DotNet projects, I don't spent efforts on this project, however I would accept a PR fixing this if you need it.

Nope and I've completely given up on WiX, I switched to Inno Setup and am able to just create a brand new working installer within an hour. F WiX lol

Same here, stuck for ages wondering why the extension was just full of exclamation marks and everything greyed out.

Any chance you would share the GUID you are expecting?
Seems like it might be easy to verify the problem by changing project GUID to match?

            .Where(project => "{930c7802-8a8c-48f9-8165-68863bccd9dd}".Equals(project.Kind, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
