I installed protobuf with vcpkg.
This happens when I build/redeploy and no c++ files where changed (i.e. no c++ linking). Changes in Xaml, and hlsl files for example.
I can fix this by touching any c++ file and rebuilding, but this is ruining my DX.
I have been naively copying the dll to the build output but this has just stopped working. I think the execute after/execute before default options changed may have changed in visual studio.
Steps to reproduce
Install protobuf with vcpkg (also have vcpkg integrated with vs)
Generate .h and .cpp files using the protobuf compiler vcpkg\packages\protobuf_x64-windows\tools\protobuf\protoc.exe https://protobuf.dev/getting-started/cpptutorial/
Include them in a project created with the Blank App WinUI 3 c++ template.
