I'm pretty sure there is something wrong here, but I don't know what it is.
I'm using WiX 3.5, and I'm using the (project name).Generated.wxs files that Visual Studio generates when you add references to them in the wix project. When I build the service it includes all the files as I wanted, but since the generated wxs file doesn't have keypath listed on any file, the service that is installed has some wacky incorrect path. It's the name of the project instead of an actual path to a file. Any ideas how to specify one of the files in the generated wxs as the keypath? I would appreciate some guidance as I'm stuck here. Thanks!
