Simple Default Wix MSIX Project Throws a FgExcludeDarwinFeatures Error On Build

I'm testing out the MSIX features of the WiX framework. When I attempt to build I receive the following error:

light.exe(0,0): error LGHT0221: The definition for the 'FgExcludeDarwinFeatures' table's 'Feature_' column is a foreign key relationship to the 'Feature' table's column number 1. The modularization types of the two column definitions differ: one is Column and the other is None. Change one of the modularization types so that they match.

My setup:

Followed installation instructions from: https://www.firegiant.com/wix/wep-documentation/getting-started

Created a default wix setup project in visual studio 2019. Included FgMsixExtension.wixext.dll, included the fgmsix.xsd property on Wix element.

I'm running toolset v3.11.2.4516 (latest). Expansion Pack v3.11.476 - 2020-12-22 (latest)

Project compiles fine without the MSIX line, and the inclusion of the FgMsixExtension.wixext

Any ideas what I am missing?

Also does anyone have a working WiX msix example I can also compare to?

Just in case it is needed, here is a very quick edit of the default setup project from a wix template:
