Re: [WiX-users] heat: the ID of a directory with numeric name

Hi Palbinder, (group), thanks for your response. As per the link you said, an ID of "1234" is *not* acceptable ("every identifier must begin with either a letter or an underscore"), which is why I think heat does some magic to avoid that ID for a directory called "1234". It seems that in one c

Re: [WiX-users] heat: the ID of a directory with numeric name

Hi, I guess this question is for me rather than for Palbinder. I am running heat 3.0.5419.0. And I do use -suid (on purpose). Anyway, this is not critical, I was just wondering if there was a good explanation for the ID change from "Directory1234" to "_1234", but I can live with it. Thanks a

[WiX-users] heat: the form of generated IDs

Hi, when I run "heat dir", the output wxs file contains blocks like this: Is there a way to make the generated IDs match the filenames, i.e. I am looking (Orca) at another MSI that was created this way (using heat), and it has these nice IDs. Thanks, Sam __

[WiX-users] heat: the ID of a directory with numeric name

Hi, I am harvesting (heat dir) a directory structure like this: foo + bar + 1234 + a.a + b.b The output is as follows: I am wondering about the Id "_1234". I suppose the Id cannot be purely numeric, so the underscore i
