msbuild package restore not working in VS 2022 for .wixproj files

[bpeikes-ts]

Recently upgraded WIX via NuGet to the last 3.xxx (3.14.1) version. Now suddenly, msbuild won't restore the wix files under the packages directory. We use a command line like:
msbuild.exe -p:RestorePackagesConfig=true -t:Restore MyProject.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="Any CPU"

And we get the warning:
The project file may be invalid or missing targets required for restore

Anyone run into this issue?

I didn't think WiX v3.x supported the Restore target. The WiX v3 MSBuild targets were written years before this new style of doing restore came to MSBuild. In fact, tremendous effort went into re-writing the targets during WiX v4 to fully embrace to the new MSBuild/NuGet Restore model.

It used to work, though maybe it was by luck.

This was a working build script in 2019.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\msbuild.exe" -p:RestorePackagesConfig=true -t:Restore Services.sln
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\msbuild.exe" Services.sln /t:Clean,Build /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="Any CPU"

if NOT ["%errorlevel%"]==["0"] pause

Building in VS 2022 seemed to work fine, but maybe msbuild in 2022 doesn't support it.

I suppose I can try to upgrade to WiX 4.xxx, it hopefully isn't too bad since I'm not doing anything complicated.
