#1160 Wix complains on version number in VS2008 VC++ projects

[Jouke Numan]

If a Wix project contains a VS 2008 C++ project that is referenced from a CSharp project, Wix
(build 3.0.3725.0) warns about version problems:

C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.0\Wix.targets : warning MSB3422: Failed to retrieve VC project information through the VC
project engine object model. The following error has occurred during XML parsing:\r
C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.0\Wix.targets : warning MSB3422: \r

Cause is probably that .NET 2.0 version of Msbuild tasks is used in wix.targets. If I change the following lines the warnings disappear:

<usingtask taskname="AssignProjectConfiguration" assemblyname="Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v3.5, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a">
<usingtask taskname="CreateProjectReferenceDefineConstants" assemblyfile="$(WixTasksPath)">
<usingtask taskname="ResolveNonMSBuildProjectOutput" assemblyname="Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v3.5, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a">
