This is still a bunch of random issues but it's workflows are so much better then hand editing xml files

Project Installer
WIX is a PITA but it's pretty much the best option. If you go down that route I suggest you use the project WixSharp (https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp). This in a neat project that allows you to write the msi configuration in C#. It then compiles into an application, that post build runs itself to generate the .msi. For example writing custom actions in vanilla is a horrible experience but with this project you just write the static methods and it abstracts them into the action assemblies. I ship projects that go to thousands of users this way, so I know it's stable.

Nuget Package: Project Reference Mutli Runtime Targeting
They bundle 4 versions inside their package haha. I can skip the self contained, that is a good point.

Nuget Package: Project Reference Mutli Runtime Targeting
I have written msbuild tasks before but we use the same CLI tools locally as well. So this gives us the best of both worlds. A simlar example is GitVersion.Tool which is pretty popular.

Source Generator AdditionalFiles Batching missing metadata
My backup option which is really ugly is to just give it a unique identity to make it unique, but that is very ugly. I was just trying to figure out if this is expected. If I was writing a custom ITask I would have access to all elements.

Source Generator AdditionalFiles Batching missing metadata
I would expect either all three to be returned or the second two items would have their metadata merged. In this case it just completely drops the second one since it's got the same identity.

✅ dotnet Restore and Targets in NuGet packages not found until second build
I have attempted to do the build in two steps 
<MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Build.targets" Targets="Restore"/>
<MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Build.targets" Targets="GenerateSharedGitAssemblyInfo"/>
<MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Build.targets" Targets="Restore"/>
<MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Build.targets" Targets="GenerateSharedGitAssemblyInfo"/>
This however still fails. It should be noted I must use DependsOnTargets because GitVersion task exports properties which I need access to later in the script. Using the MSBbuild Task there are not avaiable
