VS2022编译重建失败报MSB4025，无法生成Setup.EXE/MSI

问题现象 #

• 使用VS2022 17.11.5版本编译/重建VS2010遗留项目时，VS提示编译/重建失败，错误MSB4025指向.vdproj文件，提示其非XML格式
• 通过开发者命令行或PowerShell执行MSBUILD /v:d显示编译成功；执行MSBUILD /v:diag /filelogger /p:"Targets=Rebuild"后，命令行仍显示成功，bin/obj目录生成了EXE，但VS依旧无法生成Setup.EXE和MSI
• 无此错误的项目可正常编译生成SETUP.EXE与MSI文件
