Use heat.exe with "-ag" and always use Major Upgrade (Product Id='*'), never patch.

I'm aware of heat.exe and we have used to to seed our component.wxs files for our various wixlibs, but how do you deal with features like websites and help systems which often have dozens of files added at any time during development cycles? Re-running heat can work, sort of, it will change the component guids, but leaves the component Ids of existing components alone. Not sure how it deals with removed components. I stumbled across this 3rd party tool called Paraffin that appears to solve this issue, but have not attempted to put it to use in our build environment. What have others used to deal with features that often have an ever growing (and sometimes shrinking) list of components? -- Tony ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
