We have a vdproj build fine in VS2022IDE, however if we want to build from command line using devenv.com, it doesn't seem to generate the msi at all, although build doesn't show any error.
Also noted this is happened only recently, worked fine about 2 weeks ago
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.com" XXXClient\XXX_Client_Package\XXX_Client_Package.vdproj /Build "Release"
By looking at the log difference between IDE and cmdline, it seems pre-validation step never happens in cmdline, what could be the possible reason?
