Heat is largely intended to make it easier to create a first draft of your installer. You're then supposed to edit the results by hand to create the final product, so that's what I'd recommend. If you must do repeated, automatic harvesting then you can either rename your source files or transform your wxs fragments to change one of the duplicate IDs before linking them together. The -t switch in heat is useful for that.

Later the collected files should be installed in MyFolderC. I harvested the dierctories above with the follwing commands. heat dir C:\MyfolderA -cg AFiles -ag -scom -sreg -sfrag -srd -dr MyFolderC -out AFilesFragment.wxs heat dir C:\MyfolderB -cg BFiles -ag -scom -sreg -sfrag -srd -dr MyFolderC -out BFilesFragment.wxs After harvested the directories i included the files AFilesFragment.wxs and BFilesFragment.wxs into my project installer. The componentGroup created hier are now referenced in the feature part of my product Try to build the project produced the folloqing errors: Duplicate symbol 'Component:cmp07DE19D84BED137D10D525F675F6F293' found in file BFilesFragment.wxs. It is obvious that this error leads to the common file file1.txt . Can anyone help me solve this problem?
