Hey all,
Is there anyway to make heat stop producing a 1 to 1 correspondence between
files and components?
For example:
<Directory Id="Images" Name="Images">
<Component Id="blip_four_squares.gif"
Guid="{BB93CAA0-A4AD-4EA1-99C8-C20E0F8F34C8}">
<File Id="blip_four_squares.gif" Name="blip_four_squares.gif"
KeyPath="yes" Source="...website\Images\blip_four_squares.gif" />
</Component>
<Component Id="bottom.png" Guid="{E09F0D29-E235-4127-B6B4-95A8D2E095C4}">
<File Id="bottom.png" Name="bottom.png" KeyPath="yes"
Source="...website\Images\bottom.png" />
</Component>
.. more and more ...
Seems like overkill.
Why can't we just have a <Files...> element:
<Directory Id="Images" Name="Images>
<Component Id="Images" Guid="{BB93CAA0-A4AD-4EA1-99C8-C20E0F8F34C8}">
<Files Source="C:\mylocation\myfiles\*.jpg"></Files>
<Files Source="C:\mylocation\myfiles\*.gif"></Files>
<Files Source="C:\mylocation\myfiles\*.png"></Files>
</Component>
</Directory>
Sure... a <Files...> element will not be appropriate for all
installations... but it sure would make website installs much easier to
manage.
Regards,
Rob
