I ran WixCop on the single .wxs file that I had. No errors reported. But the custom dialog that I created never gets called. Is this a problem with .xs or .wixproj?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WixProj? Easiest way? Install WiX v3.5.2519.0, upgrade all your .wxs files using WiXCop.exe then create a new .wixproj & add them to it. Alternatively, upgrade to WiX v3.5.2519.0, open your solution & hope for the best. If that fails see above. Votive in WiX v2.0 was very experimental & not ready for production use. WiX v3.0 was the first version it was recommended for use so you find yourself in a situation no one else has as you're using a version which as been superseded for 18 months plus.

My question is about the quote in this article that states: "The easiest way to create a new .wixproj for your installer is to WiX in Visual Studio because it automatically generates standard msbuild project files" I am not sure how to take a 2.0 proj file and move it to 3.0 using the "easiest way".
