If files cannot be excluded, I may have to include a BeforeBuild task in the project that will copy the files to another location minus the files I want exclude and then point Heat to this new location. It's not a preferred solution, but it should work.
For the second question I have, currently the location that contains the files Heat is harvesting doesn't include this folder I need added. I was hoping it was possible to have it created it on the fly during the harvesting process. As I said right now I harvest the files and then edit the resulting .wxs file and add the <Directory /> and Component.
