Please post a feature request on SourceForge against v4. In-build harvesting improvements have been directed towards v4 in an effort to wind v3 down and get it out the door.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix library project does not support heat's HarvestProject in wix2010.targets Hi Rob, Other way around. I want to harvest c# projects into a wix library, which will then be consumed in the normal manner by a wix product. Program c# Projects > Harvested reference into > Program 1.wixlib > Referenced in > Program suite.wixproj This scenario does not currently work. Using a c# project to a merge module project with a harvest reference does work however. The reason for the wix library is for more core components which are included in a number of installers. Yes I could also use merge modules but I really like the concept of wix libraries.
