Why does Tfs2010 build my Wix project before anything else?

Question

A similar question was asked and answered about a year ago, but was either a different issue (everything was in beta) or misdiagnosed. It\'s located here: MSbuild task fails

Answer 1

Its a bug, a bug, a bug. Dunno who is responsible, but here's a working dirty filthy hack:

1. Open your .sln file in notepad.
2. Find your wix projects in the list of projects.
3. Cut them out, and paste them back after all other projects are listed.
4. Cry in the shower as you try to scrub the dirty off, only to emerge hours later, rubbed raw and still with the stench of filth clinging to you like corpse's skin.
