Bugs suck, no doubt about it. All we can do is find them and fix them when
they happen.

When you say the harvest functionality has been disabled, are you referring
to a particular part of Heat.exe? Like for me, harvesting a project didn't

There are too many WiX web sites - when floundering I didn't know which one

The official website: http://wixtoolset.org (and our old but not yet
migrated website: http://wix.sourceforge.net) have links to the Tutorial
and the Book. The "Manual" documentation is "reference manual" level
documentation, not tutorial or multi-page book "introduction" material.
Again, please
The documentation is supposed to explicitly call out that harvesting was
disabled in WiX v3.6 due to many issues that arose at the end of WiX v3.5.

Also you can display RTF files in Windows installer using the RichText control
as per the LicenseAgreementDlg in WiX_UI.
Might be a simpler/more elegant solution than having a button launch the RTF.
Any reason why you need the RTF to be in the Binary table rather than part of
the install?

Brilliant!

Sure, it should be attached now, but it's only essentially what the tool
produces from the IDE.
There is no CNDL error once I add a manufacturer name - perhaps I phrased
that poorly.
