searching around i found that the -gg switch when passed to heat generates
GUIDs for each component. this is a very nice little feature, and i wonder
why it is undocumented with the /?.
i was wondering if there are other undocumented switches for heat, as well
as undocumented switches for the other wix tools.
also, specifically with heat, i would like to be able to not seperate every
componet into a fragment. when capturing large directories, it is very
tedious to add every component created to a feature, and it is not possible
to create a componentgroup when every component is in a seperate fragment.
at the same time, i was wondering if the DirectoryRef that is created for
each component could be moved to be a directory attribut of the component
elements created.
in other words, instead of this:
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="bicarboc">
<Component Id="a2_2_11.cxf"
Guid="{192F8473-F096-466E-A54C-DD748E31ADA2}">
<File Id="a2_2_11.cxf" Name="a2_2_11.cxf" KeyPath="yes"
Source="c:\sf\templatedirs\bicarboc\a2_2_11.cxf" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="coordina">
<Component Id="a5member.cxf"
Guid="{5314AA6A-1F30-440B-B0EF-AA274E88ACD6}">
<File Id="a5member.cxf" Name="a5member.cxf" KeyPath="yes"
Source="c:\sf\templatedirs\coordina\a5member.cxf" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="polycarb">
<Component Id="ab3_1_0.cxf"
Guid="{45FB27BE-A664-4035-B00B-30AD8E8F2658}">
<File Id="ab3_1_0.cxf" Name="ab3_1_0.cxf" KeyPath="yes"
Source="c:\sf\templatedirs\polycarb\ab3_1_0.cxf" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
I was wondering if there were any switches for heat that would give me this
instead:
<Fragment>
<Component Id="a2_2_11.cxf"
Guid="{192F8473-F096-466E-A54C-DD748E31ADA2}" Directory="bicarboc">
<File Id="a2_2_11.cxf" Name="a2_2_11.cxf" KeyPath="yes"
Source="c:\sf\templatedirs\bicarboc\a2_2_11.cxf" />
</Component>
<Component Id="a5member.cxf"
Guid="{5314AA6A-1F30-440B-B0EF-AA274E88ACD6}" Directory="coordina">
<File Id="a5member.cxf" Name="a5member.cxf" KeyPath="yes"
Source="c:\sf\templatedirs\coordina\a5member.cxf" />
</Component>
<Component Id="ab3_1_0.cxf"
Guid="{45FB27BE-A664-4035-B00B-30AD8E8F2658}" Directory="polycarb">
<File Id="ab3_1_0.cxf" Name="ab3_1_0.cxf" KeyPath="yes"
Source="c:\sf\templatedirs\polycarb\ab3_1_0.cxf" />
</Component>
</Fragment>
