Yes, I suspect the timestamps are tweaked during signing--I've never been able to get signing to work right except in an AfterBuild target at or near the end of the run. How do you link in your features. We use a wixlib for each feature, link it into the main install build, and then sign everything. I handle six features this way in one of my install builds.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WIX MSBuild Issue WiX toolset just uses MSBuild. What does MSBuild say about the rebuilt ProjectReference? Why did the project think it need to be rebuilt? (maybe signing confused the projects so they think the .exe is out of date)? It is always possible something is wrong on the WiX.targets side but MSBuild should say why...
