Two solutions come to mind: 1. Edit the file. Heat isn't designed to be used in a build process; it's designed to generate a first pass of authoring that you can then edit and maintain by hand. Use a global search and replace on the root of the path to whatever you use to point to the output directory (e.g., a $(var.) preprocessor variable). See also http://www.joyofsetup.com/2009/01/01/choosing-your-payloads/. 2. Use the -t switch to specify an XSL transform to fix it up however you want (within the limits of what XSLT can do). -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
