I tried adding Merge and MergeRef for both
'HTML_Help_Registration__RTL_---_---.msm' and
'HTML_Help_Registration__RTL_X86_---.msm' and included those 2 files in the
directory containing Sample.wxs, but the generated installer still doesn't
register the help file.

This sounded interesting so I looked into it, but I couldn't find much info on
the web about using WixVSExtension. I did find the VS Schema information in the
Wix.chm, so here's a snippet from my attempt:
<Product Id='69A7A830-638F-11DB-BD13-0800200C9A66' Name='Test Package'
Language='1033' Version='1.0.0.0' Manufacturer='Microsoft Corporation'

<Package

<Media Id='1' Cabinet='Something.cab' EmbedCab='yes'/>
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>

<File Id='HelpFile'
Name='AppHelpFile.hxs' Source='AppHelpFile.hxs'>
<vse:HelpFile Id='MyHelpFile'
Name='my.help.file.id'/>
</File>
<File Id='CollectionFile'
Name='AppHelpFile.hxc' Source='AppHelpFile.hxc'>
<vse:HelpCollection

Name='my.help.namespace.id'>
<vse:HelpFileRef

</vse:HelpCollection>
</File>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Feature Id='MyFeature' Title='My 1st Feature' Level='1'>
<ComponentRef Id='MyComponent'/>
</Feature>
</Product>
In the directory containing Sample.wxs, I added AppHelpFile.hxs and
AppHelpFile.hxc.
Then I did this on the command prompt:
candle Sample.wxs -ext WixVSExtension
light Sample.wixobj -ext WixVSExtension
But 'light' gives this error message:
error LGHT0204 : ICE03: Not a valid foreign key; Table: HelpPlugin, Column:
HelpNamespace_Parent, Key(s): MyHelpCollection.MS_VSIPCC_v80
Any ideas what I did wrong? Also, is there away to *not* specify a .hxc file?
Our setup only generates a .hxs, so I'm not sure if I correctly created the
.hxc file.
