So my current WiX application is building and works fine but occasionally

Hi,
With install shield we used to store properties we wanted for later in an xml
file and then install shield would read them in at the beginning of install.
We didn't use a custom action to do this, it was a built in function with
install shield.
I am looking for something similar with WiX.
The way we have it set up is we have the Custom Action project as well as the
Wix project in the same solution. The build order is set so that the Custom
Action project builds BEFORE the WiX project. We then reference the built
"CA.dll" using relative path to the Custom Action folder. Works w
If I have a lot of custom action work going on and I mean a lot. Is it better
to have a few custom actions that encompass most of the work, obviously this
can be split into multiple functions within the custom action or have a ton of
separate custom actions?
I'm trying to weigh the pros and co

I just got over the heat output hurdle. The heat output, is really only a
directory/component/file listing of the directory you gave it. It isn't going
to produce any xml that'll install the service. You will have to write that
code.
I haven't used the heat project as a directive, I used tfs
Ok,
So I have a preprocessor variable that I want to pass from my TFS Build process
to my wix project. I don't know how to do this. I've been scouring the web
and trying multiple things but can't get it to work.
I have a preprocessor variable called BuildPath used throughout my main wxs

Yes, I understand that you can put multiple files in a component, but that
means I have to write the Source for each of the files, and spell out each file

So I've seen a lot of documentation in using the XML Util Extension to modify
xml files. But generally all those tutorials are for changing XML files that
are being included with the install.
How would I change an XML file that is already existing for where I am going to
deploy my Install? So
So I created a Wix Solution and added it to my Team Build process as the last
solution to build. But I am using source files inside WiX that aren't created
until after my solutions have built and deployed... So how do I delay the WiX
compile.
Specifically my problem is on the AfterDrop target
