#1365 Cannot build .wixproj

[Paul Lalonde]

In weekly build 3.0.4603, all attempts to build my .wixproj fail with this error:

error MSB4064: The "Value" parameter is not supported by the "CreateItem" task. Verify the parameter exists on the task, and it is a settable public instance property.

The error occurs whether building from the command line via msbuild.exe, or from VS2008.

The culprit is lines 1438-1443 of Wix.targets:

<CreateItem
  Value="$(TargetPath)"
  Condition="'@(EmbeddedResource)' != ''">
  <Output TaskParameter="Value"
          PropertyName="TargetOutput"/>
</CreateItem>

The CreateItem element looks like it should be a CreateProperty element, judging from its attributes.

The same happens to me.
The problem only happens when I add a localization file (.wxl). Either one of my own or one of the standard WixUI_xx-xx.wxl

The error happens after candle:
