At a higher level, what you're trying to do (replace only one or two files) isn't a supported use case (nor a goal). We just don't do that ever. Thus, it isn't that surprising to me that it doesn't "just work".

I found out that each build you do the build increases the version number, then you get out of sync since there is a registry entry that has the product version of WIX 3.8. 2. so to fool that I have updated the WixBuild.Version.targets file with the line: <BuildNumber>1128</BuildNumber> The problem is that I am not sure what files I should overwrite for the WixBalExtension.dll I copied over a few at a time: wix.dll, WixBalExtension.dll, burn.exe and would get an error building a boostrapper (MSI's had no issue) I gave up and ended up coping over the *.exe/*.dll/*.wixlib and now that works but it seems silly to copy over that many files for 1 DLL that I changed source code wise....
