Re: [WiX-users] Component Id, Guid, file name and upgrade

void this. I am not sure about changing the actual file name but I think that how we generate the 8.3 names (which affect patching) comes from the name of the file (don't quote me on that). Also, it is best not to delete components as mentioned by Peter on the same comment area. Hope that help

Re: [WiX-users] Heat directory harvesting WiX 3.0 Tool set

Hey Randall, The "SourceDir\" is by design. Inside a .wixproj file you can set the MSBuild property to the root directory. This directory will then be replaced by "SourceDir\". Hope that helps, Brian Rogers "Intelligence removes complexity." - Me http://icumove.s

Rahul, Yes, as Neil mentioned look into the -cg command line switch where you can set a static component group. This will nest all your element references inside a which you can then reference under a using . Thanks, Brian Rogers "Intelligence removes complexity."

Re: [WiX-users] Problems with Heat and COM (and subsequentlyCandleand Light)

ove you have two possibilities if we are unable to fix these now for #1 and #2b. The first would be to write a custom XSLT in order to fix the empty Class/@Description and to remove the hard code directory path in heat. The second would be to make a heat extension to do the same. Thanks, Brian Rog

Hey Alexander, You can use Orca <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370557.aspx> to open the msm and then look at what they are doing. From there you could get a rough clue as to what is going on with the install. Thanks, Brian Rogers "Intelligence removes complexity.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom MergeModules

Hey Jim, In general merge modules should be avoided. Unless you have clients of your product which will be integrating your merge module it is better to use .wixlib files internally to allow for shared components across multiple packages. What error are you getting in heat? Thanks, Brian

Re: [WiX-users] Make light.exe run faster.

Mahmoud, You could look into doing some work with heat.exe. If you harvest your source into individual output files you could then use XSLT to add disk Ids. There are general risks with this, many around patching. Thanks, Brian Rogers "Intelligence removes complexity."
