The project reference does two things: 1) It generates WiX preprocessor (candle) variables relating/referencing the project: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/votive_project_references.htm 2) If you set Harvest to True, it uses the Project Harvester (the "project" argument to heat) to generate authoring during the build that is incorporated into your product via the "<ComponentRef Id="Product.Generated" />". The DirectoryId is passed to the Heat tool via the -directoryid argument and the "Project Output Groups" contains values that can be used with the -pog argument. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/heat.htm for details on heat.

I added a WiX project to a Visual Studio solution. Then I added a reference to the C# project in the same solution. In the properties of this reference I can see - DirectoryId: INSTALLLOCATION - Harvest: False - Project Output Groups: BinariesContentSatellites 1) Can I harvest all files in the output directory of the C# project? 2) How do I add a reference to a 3rd party control, that is referenced in the C# project? 3) Where can I read about this reference thingy? -- Andy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
