Install NuGet package freezes Visual Studio 2017 on OAWixProject.Save

Bugs

If this issue is a bug:

• Which version of WiX are you building with? WiX Toolset v3.1.0.1701

• Which version of Visual Studio are you building with (if any)? Visual Studio Professional 2017 (2)

• Which version of .NET are you building with?

4.5.2

• Describe the problem and the steps to reproduce it.

On installing a NuGet package the power shell script install.ps1 is executed. The script install.ps1 calls the function WixToolset.VisualStudioExtension.OAWixProject.Save([PATHTOPROJECTFILE]) which results in freezing Visual Studio 2017.

The above mentioned script works fine in Visual Studio 2015.

Many thanks, Ingo

Which NuGet package?

[ingobau]

It is a custom NuGet package including our custom managed bootstrapper. Furthermore, installing the NuGet package in a Wix Bootstrapper project, the file Bundle.wxs gets modified (e.g. add payload). This modifications are executed in install.ps1 and saved by calling WixToolset.VisualStudioExtension.OAWixProject.Save([PATHTOPROJECTFILE]).

DemoSaveVsProject.1.0.0.nupkg.zip

Please find attached the demo NuGet Package to replicate the issue described above. The install.ps1 calls the project save method. Installing the demo package in a Bootstrapper Project for Wix works fine with VS 2015 but doesn't work with VS 2017.
