Ahh, yes. Sorry, known MPF issue. I have a bad habit of whacking the Project metadata from project references even though MPF based projects require it... because... well, MPF bugs me. <smile/>

Subject: [WiX-devs] MPF: Adding a wixlib project reference to a solution

FYI,
  I've diagnosed the "issue" I found yesterday.  When referencing an external project via MPF, a <Project>{GUID}</Project> element is required.  When adding these via the IDE, it does populate them.  I wrote my extension using an existing one as a reference, which did not have them. The problem was the wixlib project had a reference to the C++ ca project.  When attempting to add the wixlib to the solution Votive/MPF parses for the ProjectReference elements and it requires the GUID to be set.

Thanks,
Jacob
