There should be an additional prerequisite for this project (at least for VS 2019).

The Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project extension needs to be added to VS 2019 before loading the project solution.

Extensions -> Manage Extensions Find and Select -> Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project Restart VS 2019 Now open solution.

If solution was already opened and built, follow above steps, and after reopening VS 2019 and the clawPDF solution, select the clawPDF_setup project in solution explorer and execute a Project -> Reload.

You need to install Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects extension before opening the solution. MVSIPE
