Description
### Describe the bug
When building an app with code located on a Network drive the app will fail to build/deploy
### Steps to reproduce the bug
1) Create a new project using WindowsAppSdk on a network drive (i.e. on a Mac, or a NAS)
2) Open the project in Visual Studio
3) Attempt to build/run
### Expected behavior
The app should build / run the same as it would if the code were located on the physical hard drive or primary VHD.
### Screenshots
**Packaged**
**Unpackaged**
### NuGet package version
Windows App SDK 1.5.1: 1.5.240311000
### Packaging type
Packaged (MSIX)
### Windows version
Windows 11 version 22H2 (22621, 2022 Update)
### IDE
Visual Studio 2022-preview, Visual Studio 2022
### Additional context
Note that the errors shown occur when creating a project using the WinUI template. Building an Unpackaged app from the Uno template actually does work.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the packaged and unpackaged WinUI-template builds from a Windows network drive using Windows App SDK 1.5.1 and Visual Studio, then compare them with a local-drive build. Done means the app builds and runs from the network drive as it does from a physical drive or primary VHD.
