Another thing you can try, which is the way it's supposed to "officially"
work, is this:
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="..\..\..\FileName.cs">
<Link>FileName.cs</Link>
</Compile>
</ItemGroup>
I can't remember if this works in Votive or not. I think it does, though.
Try it out and let me know.

If you edit the project file directly, you can do this.
In the
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="my file.wxs" />
</ItemGroup>
Section, just add another entry like this:
<Compile Include="<PathToFile>MySecondFIle.wxs"/>
Now, there is a catch. When you reload the project in VS, it's going to be
ugly.
VS will add a <Folder> tag for each folder in the relative path from your
project directory to the file. And it adds one folder entry for each level
of folder. For instance, I have a file that is two directories up from my
project file. So, when I open the project in VS, I have an empty folder for
.., an empty folder for ..\.., and a folder that is for ..\..\, but has the
item in it.
Not pretty, but it works.

It's one of the things on my list to do, but linked files do not currently
work yet. Sorry about that.

Subject: [WiX-users] Votive - Adding File as a Link
Hi,
I'm playing around with Votive v3.0.2211.0 in Visual Studio 2005 Team
Edition for Software Developers. I would like to add an existing item into
my WiX project as a link, but the dialog box doesn't have the drop down box
on the Add button like other projects. I can only Add files, which means
that the file is physically copied into the project folder on the file
system
Is there any way to add files to a Votive projects as a link?
Regards,
Mark Capaldi
