I have now modified my build script to use a locally build msi installer and
comparing it with a version build on my build server yesterday.
There is no practical difference between the two msi files except the version
numbers.
Is that why I keep getting errors?
I get the following error from

Hi,
I was looking for a way to add files from multiple directories with
HeatDirectory element.
Also, I would like to know if there is a way to append the fragment generated

I never use wild cards...some day you will distribute unwanted files to

How often is your setup changes?

Bug ID for this issue is 3287, the only solution I found so far is to build the
MSI in a VM that doesn't have FIPS (SHA2) enabled.

I was guessing at what exactly you are doing. Yes get the utility to do its
own impersonation.
Or run a post install configuration utility.

Hi tom,
So their is a way to you use Wild card? As we have package without unwanted
files. And in WIX project we want use a wild card to get all the files under

We have integrated the MSi to dailybuild .So everyt
In visual studio under build you need to define a preprocessor variable
that points to the location of the root directory. Example:
DatabaseDir=..\Folder.
Then under build events you need to write a Pre-build Event command line to
have heat generate the wxs file every time you make a build.
Example

Jeremiah, yes, the relative pathing is correct. The problem is not about
finding the file but rather the rollback logic. Thank you for the suggestion

You could harvest them all and use an XSLT to filter them. The command line
heat accepts a -t parameter to transform the output, and the MSBuild task
should have a related property.

Hmm,
I think I would have one config file and conditionally modify it with CA's
like XmlFile/XmlConfig. I'd also try to eliminate the machine name dependency
and instead use a dev/test/live burn bundle passing a parameter via a
MsiProperty to the installer.

I use Wix to install drivers but only USB/HID drivers which are straight
forward.
The element goes with the component with element of the

The way it works in MSI isn't really mysterious. Basically the property name
needs to be public (and that means it must be all uppercase). If WiX does
its thing properly then you can open the generated MSI file with an editor
