#1326 votive breaks source control functionality
When votive is installed, MSSCCI-compatible source control integration plugins stop working properly. Not only wix project itself; source control for all projects in the same solution doesn't work properly too.
Main symptoms - "checkout on edit" doesn't work; source control commands on the root of solution are grayed out or hidden; when trying to remove file from the project VS shows message:
Microsoft Visual Studio
The command you are attempting cannot be completed because the file 'TestCover.csproj' that must be modified cannot be changed. If the file is under source control, you may want to check it out; if the file is read-only on disk, you may want to change its attributes.
OK
when trying to remove project from solution VS shows this message:
Microsoft Visual Studio
Unexpected error encountered. It is recommended that you restart the application as soon as possible.
Error: The parameter is incorrect.

There was a fix in this area recently. Which version of WiX are you using?

Does it work in solutions that don't have a .wixproj? Does it work in solutions where you create a new .wixproj? There are compatibility issues if you use a .wixproj created with a build of Votive before 3.0.4220. See http://n2.nabble.com/Updating-WiX-projects-for-Votive-build-3.0.4220-or-later-td713129.html for details.

Bug is only in solutions with wixproj project included.
The problem was solved as I performed source control unbinding/binding of the whole solution.
Can you let us know which build you used to create the .wixproj? We want to o be sure the bug is one we've fixed and not an instance of a new related bug.
I can't say exact version number, but the project was created in January - so it certainly was created before Wix build 3.0.4220.0
Thanks. That's before the architecture change, so the problem was expected.
