So I am using Heat at build time to generate a wxs fragment <Exec Command=""$(WixTools)\heat.exe" dir $(DropLocation)\$(BuildNumber)\abc\ -gg -cg cmpGrp -var var.abcPath -dr dirABC -o $(branchSolutionRoot)\src\DeploymentServices\InstallPackage\abcFrag.wxs"/>
The problem I am having is that below I need to reference that directory that was generated in the fragment so I can use it to create my virtual directory/web application. The problem I seem to be having is that it creates an extra folder depth using this way. So for example, the frag that gets generated above has <DirectoryRef id="dirABC"> <Directory id="dirGUID" Name="abc"/> </Directory> So when the folder structure gets create I get C:\Product Name\abc\abc\files. Well I didn't want that extra folder depth of abc. I thought I could maybe change it so that during Heat I have the -dr INSTALLLOCATION but then on my webvirtualdir Directory attribute can I still put dirABC (even thought that is a directoryRef ID? <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="Product Name"> <Directory Id="dirABC" Name="abc"> <Component Id="WebServiceDirectory" Guid="a0ecf105-aea9-4df6-8c50-a3627270e5ed"> <CreateFolder /> <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="abcWebService" Alias="abcWebService" Directory="dirABC" WebSite="DefaultWebSite"> <iis:WebApplication Id="abcWebApplication" Name="abcWebService" WebAppPool="ReportingSolutionsAppPool" /> </iis:WebVirtualDir> </Component> </Directory> ________________________________ The information contained in this message may be confidential and legally protected under applicable law.
