A feature that I like in Installshield and Wise which Wix doesn't directly
support is wildcard population of directories.

 

Here is source for a wix preprocessor we use as part of our build process
(run just prior to candle):

 

http://download.yousendit.com/706B8A2A4335438C

 

usage is as follows:

 

                WixWildCardPreProcessor.exe MsiContentBaseDir wixInFile
wixOutFile

 

 

Example syntax (pulls all files in relative dir "x" into wix structure):

 

          <Directory Id="dirX" Name="X">

            <Component Id="compX"
Guid="{97CB7E81-963C-41ad-8D5A-DF1DE380AB4A}">

              <!-- [WILDCARD Source='x'] -->

            </Component>

          </Directory>
