Project outputs from .wixproj are not available to other projects

[heaths]

• Which version of WiX are you building with?

3.10.3

• Which version of Visual Studio are you building with (if any)?

2015

• Which version of .NET are you building with?

N/A

• If the problem occurs when installing your packages built with WiX, what is the version of Windows the package is running on?

N/A (though, Windows 10)

• Describe the problem and the steps to reproduce it.

Some projects reference output from other projects, but .wixproj targets do not implement BuiltProjectOutputGroupDependencies or DebugSymbolsProjectOutputGroupDependencies so outputs are not discoverable and project output references fail.

• Describe the behavior you expected and how it differed from the actual behavior.

The WiX targets should implement BuiltProjectOutputGroupDependencies - which emits BuiltProjectOutputGroupDependency items - and DebugSymbolsProjectOutputGroupDependencies - which emits DebugSymbolsProjectOutputGroupDependency items. See Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets for an example.

Note that this is not the same as #4940, which asks that heat.exe call into these targets for other projects.

I believe this is fixed in WiX v4.0 with the standardization on Microsoft.Common.targets.
