You could have the same capabilities but better runtime performances if you use a MegaLinter flavor:

• oxsecurity/megalinter/flavors/documentation@v9.2.0 (49 linters)
• oxsecurity/megalinter/flavors/ruby@v9.2.0 (50 linters)
• oxsecurity/megalinter/flavors/rust@v9.2.0 (50 linters)

Your project could benefit from a custom flavor, which would allow you to run only the linters you need, and thus improve runtime performances. (Skip this info by defining FLAVOR_SUGGESTIONS: false)

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the project to use the GitVersion.MsBuild NuGet package with a UsingTask override approach instead of the dotnet-gitversion tool. The package now serves as an addition to the original GitVersion.MsBuild, specifically for building WiX projects in Visual Studio, rather than a full replacement.

• Switched from dotnet-gitversion CLI tool to GitVersion.MsBuild package
• Implemented UsingTask override mechanism to selectively activate only for WiX projects built in Visual Studio
• Removed GenerateGitVersionInformation functionality and related code
• Replaced Example C# console app with WiX installer project
