Non Standard Build configurations are not supported

[MikeWilliams-UK]

HeatWave Version

1.0.6.7

Visual Studio Version

17.13.6

Repro Steps

1. Open source code downloaded from https://github.com/Chem4Word/Version3-2
2. Ensure that Debug configuration is selected
3. Convert the v3 wix project in folder Installer\WiX-Installer to v4

Actual Result

On re-loading the project I see this.

Expected Result

In Chem4Word we use four build configurations

• Debug
• Release
• Setup
• Vso-Ci

When I try to add the non standard configurations into the converted installer, the configuration manager refuses to add them

I had to manually edit the file WiX-Installer.wixproj to add the following configurations
<Configurations>Debug;Release;Setup;Vso-Ci</Configurations>

In order to get the configuration manager to be correct I had to edit the .sln file to fix the configurations for the Wix-Installer

[MikeWilliams-UK]

I have just tried to create a simple test project using just "1. Wix Simple Setup" and "Sample Application" from https://github.com/deepak-rathi/Wix-Setup-Samples and it gives the same issue after adding my two extra configurations

[MikeWilliams-UK]

I have created a smaller set of examples which demonstrate the manual edits I have to make to the converted project's .wixproj file
See https://github.com/MikeWilliams-UK/WiX-Samples

1. Remove configurations defined as extra property groups
2. Add Debug;Release;Setup;Vso-Ci to first property group

Commit MikeWilliams-UK/WiX-Samples@5667cbd shows all the changes required to make the configuration manager stop displaying error message
