Re: [WiX-users] How to deal with heat output for registering COM components?

So you are trying to harvest it with heat as a single file? I'm not sure I follow. Can you give a little more info? From "If I integrate that fragment into my main-wxs-file and build the solution" it sounds like you are trying to include it as a component but not have it in a harvesty group wxs fi

Re: [WiX-users] KeyPath by default?

2014-09-26 Thread Rob Mensching
There is always a KeyPath for a Component: Directory, File, Registry or ODBC (who uses that anymore?). Directory is the weakest KeyPath so if the others are present WiX will default to the first one. This is all in the Component KeyPath documentation: If this attribute's value is set to 'yes',

Hello folks, last time I dealt with extracting registering informations with heat is about two years ago and I used wix 3.6 for that. Unfortunately I lost the command that I used to extract those informations :( Now I have a new .NET component, that I need to register on a client workstation w
