Under your Module element you need to reference something from the WXS file generated by heat.exe.

Rob/Bob. A bit of context here. We have a bunch of merge modules that get their files via heat (pre V3 RTM) and then we created a post processing tool that used the output of Heat, and produced a WXI file that was directly included in the merge modules via include. We just upgraded to the V3 RTM build, and with the changes in Heat, we cannot use the postprocessing tool anymore, without updating the code. The postprocessing tool does not really do anythign that Heat cannot do, other than generating a WXI file. So I used Heat to produce a fragment WXS file, but I have one issues here: How do I include that in the Merge Module WXS file? I basically removed the include line and I candle the module WXS and the fragment WXS file to get their Wixobj files and then run light, but I am getting a warning like this: "light.exe : warning LGHT1079 : The cabinet 'MergeModule.CABinet' does not contain any files. If this installation contains no files, this warning can likely be safely ignored. Otherwise, please add files to the cabinet or remove it." And the generated MSM is empty, it has none of the files from the fragment. So basically if I can get the WXI file directly from Heat or another tool then I don't need to worry about this now. (I am actually thinking of getting rid of the MSMs, but that is the way it is for now) Bob, do you have an XSLT that does the conversion to WXI? thanks Andres > Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 11:13:17 -0500 > From: b...@joyofsetup.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Generating a WXI from a WXS? > > On 2/26/2010 4:47 AM, Andres Juarez wrote: > > Is there any tool or automated way of generating a WXI file from a WXS file? > > > > Use an XSL transform.
