PR Summary
When changing the WiX installer locally and rebuilding the MSI one can get into the terrible situation whereby a code change does not get compiled into the new MSI.
This PR fixes the root cause of it, which is due to temporary WiX files that are created but not deleted after compilation and WiX then somehow decides to not recompile properly.
I also removed redundant parenthesis of surrounding code.
