Project references with non-ASCII characters in project name fail #47

@Arinluna

Description

@Arinluna

HeatWave Version

1.0.2

Visual Studio Version

17.7.6

Repro Steps

  1. Add any project to the solution with a name that contains a non-ASCII character. For example: 'ű'
  2. Add said project as a project reference to the installer project
  3. Try to build
    Addendum: The original .wixproj was updated from WIX v3 using HeatWave. I know that WIX v3 is not WIX v4, but WIX v3 was able to build the .msi using the original non-ACSII project names.

Actual Result

error WIX0150: Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.AdatGyűjtőSvc.TargetDir)'

Expected Result

A succesfuly built .msi package, since the source project builds correctly.
Or, the very least, an error message that is relevant to the actual issue. I don't think that: "Undefined preprocessor variable $(var.MyNonAsciiProjectName.TargetDir)" is the relevant message, since some other component had to fail to create that variable in the first place.
