How to get files from local NuGet source into heat in Wix4 projects?

[nikryden]

Before in Wix 3 I get files from our local nuget package source and extract them in a Extra folder so It's could be added to the heat. To do this I change the path in nuget.config. This can not be done any more.
NuGet do not pack up nuget files in the selected package folder after I convert to WIX 4 project with HeatWave for VS2022 version 0.9.4. Nothing else is change in the projects.

I have tried to start a new wix 4 project and get the same result. Do I have to do this in some other way in WIX 4. Have tried to find any thing about this on the web with no luck.

I don't know if this has any thing to do with this but with WIX3 project i could do Update-Package –reinstall
but with WIX 4 i get this error when run the same

PM> Update-Package –reinstall
The `-Reinstall` parameter does not apply to PackageReference based projects `TestWix4MSI`

As the error message tells you, WiX v4 adopts the PackageReference mechanism for referencing NuGet packages. If that is new to you, you'll want to read up on it. The GeneratePathProperty is probably the most relevant.
