I figured it out, heat.exe -var env.appdir and candle.exe -dappdir=..\_Release\Application candle are what I needed, unless there's a better way?

There are several output folders that have the release builds built in a directory parallel to the wix source directory. I'm using Heat to generate a fragment as there's too much to do by hand. When I try to build the msi using Light, it complains about not being able to find the source files. I'm generating my fragment with: heat.exe dir ..\_Release\Application -srd -sfrag -gg -dr AppFolder -template:fragment -cg Application -sreg -pog:Binaries -pog:Symbols -pog:Satellites -out application.wxs and my main wxs file contains: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'> <Directory Id='Toolkit' Name='Tookit' FileSource='..\_Release'> <Directory Id='AppFolder' Name='Application'> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Feature Id='Complete' Level='1'> <ComponentGroupRef Id='Application'/> </Feature> If I add files manually to the AppFolder Directory light can find them and include them in the project. The files referenced in the fragment cannot be found (they're in ..\_Release\Application). How do I tell the fragment where the files should be found?
