Oh, yes, I see what you mean now. Unfortunately, there is no way (yet) to specify a separate target directory for each output group. The binaries project output group contains just the binary outputs of the project and it would be incorrect to assume "bin\" just as it would be incorrect to include "Debug\" or "Release\" when harvesting a C# project.
You could get what you want by manually adding HarvestProject items to your project file for each of the output groups, but until you can specify the output path in the HarvestProject, I don't know how you can overcome them both harvesting to the same wxs file. Ex: <HarvestProject Include="path\to\projectfile" > <ProjectOutputGroups>Binaries</ProjectOutputGroups> <DirectoryIds>BinFolder</DirectoryIds> <ProjectName>WebProject</ProjectName> </HarvestProject> <HarvestProject Include="path\to\projectfile" > <ProjectOutputGroups>Content;Satellites</ProjectOutputGroups> <DirectoryIds>INSTALLLOCATION</DirectoryIds> <ProjectName>WebProject</ProjectName> </HarvestProject> I do plan to add a HeatOutput metadata where you will be able to override the output path but I don't know when that will make it in. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Stangroome [mailto:jason.stangro...@readify.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 3:53 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Heat 3.5.1419 not harvesting VS2010 ASP.NET MVC2 project correctly I could but I would expect all the .aspx,.ascx files, etc to move in there too. Simplifying, this is what is currently generated: .\default.aspx .\web.config .\webproject.dll .\images\logo.jpg And this is what it needs to be: .\default.aspx .\web.config .\BIN\webproject.dll <-- .\images\logo.jpg All of these files (and many more) are harvested from the web project but the compiled binaries end up in the wrong folder.

I added the MVC project as a reference to the Setup project and ensured the reference properties were set to Harvest=True and Project Output=BinariesContentSatellites. During the build, Heat.exe is executed to generate the obj/Debug/_WebProject.wxs file, but the contents of this file and the effect of the resulting .msi is such that the binaries (ie WebProject.dll, etc) are installed in the base install folder instead of under the required /bin/ folder. My suspicion is that the MVC2 project is not being detected as a web project but as a normal C# project instead. Is this a bug or is there something I'm doing wrong?
