I've found HEAT doesn't generate any output even for a brand new empty VS2010
C# class library project. Here is what the output window contains when I try to
build a simple installer containing only the brand new empty VS2010 C# class
library project:

Subject: HEAT with VS 2010 CSPROJ files
I am in the midst of upgrading our product to be VS 2010 compatible. We're
using WIX to generate a .msi installer. I've upgraded to WIX 3.5.1309.0 and
have run into a snag.
Specifically I'm having a problem with the HEAT tool in this version. It is
having trouble working with our VS2010 converted .csproj files. Votive wants to
automatically run this command line:
C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin\Heat.exe project
"..\..\Common\ArtOfTest.Common.Design\ArtOfTest.Common.Design\ArtOfTest.Common.Design.csproj"
-pog:Binaries -pog:Symbols -pog:Sources -pog:Content -pog:Satellites
-pog:Documents -ag -sfrag -out obj\Release\_ArtOfTest.Common.Design.wxs
If I manually run this at the command line and point it to the working VS2008
.csproj file I get the expected output file just fine. But if I point it to the
converted VS2010 .csproj file (which does compile and generates a .dll in
VS2010 no problem), nothing gets output. There's no error message of any kind
either. I tried adding the -verbose switch and that didn't add any output
either. Absolutely nothing comes out (no generated output, no error message of
any kind, etc.). Nothing is put in the Event Viewer/Application log either. I
am stumped as to why I am not getting any output.
Is there any more information I can give to help? Here is the contents of one
of my converted .csproj files (trimmed slightly to hide most of our source code
file names):
