I agree the file is compiled anyway. However the resulting output is not what 
developers are expecting. In addition to the "Installation error" message, the 
Issues pane is flooded with messages "The following products could not be 
built..." along with a potentially very long list of products that could not be 
build. All these messages are marked as errors (red exclamation mark). This 
creates extra confusion on developer side, since all they wanted to see is 
whether their single file could compile or not. I got complaints about this 
from our developers, and even very experienced ones could not understand what's 
really going on.
