WiX 3.11.2 and .NET 4.7.2 COM+ applications

I am trying to install .NET Framework 4.7.2 developed COM+ component using WiX 3.11.2.

And it fails doing this with the following error in the log:

Action 14:38:48: RegisterComPlusAssemblies. Registering COM+ components

RegisterComPlusAssemblies: DLL: C:\Program Files (x86)\WiXTestingComPlusApplication\NET472ServicedComponent.dll

ComPlusInstallExecute: Error 0x80020009: Failed to invoke RegistrationHelper.InstallAssembly() method

ComPlusInstallExecute: Error 0x80020009: Failed to register .NET assembly

ComPlusInstallExecute: Error 0x80020009: Failed to register assemblies CustomAction ComPlusInstallExecute returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

In the binding log, I can see that there was an attempt to load the .NET 4.7.2 based COM+ component assembly using .NET 2.0 runtime:

Assembly Binder Log Entry (11/15/2019 @ 2:38:49 PM)

The operation failed.

Bind result: hr = 0x8013101b. No description available.

ERR: Failed to complete setup of assembly (hr = 0x8013101b). Probing terminated.

The error code means COR_E_NEWER_RUNTIME.

The custom action from WiX Toolset Extentions uses native DLL custom action to register the COM+ application.

And it looks like it is not using the latest version of the .NET Framework. Is there any way I could control it?

And of course it works fine if ServicedComponent is using .NET Framework 2.0.

I have created a small demo for the problem here.

UPDATE - added WiX wxs file contents
