Hello I am new to wix technology. I am creating an installer. I used heat.ext to harvest my directories and to generate wxs file with -ag option to get all my components generated with guid="*" . I want to automate the process. We do daily builds, and we will release software to customers for every 6months. For example, if some new files got added to my directory i dont want to manually open the wxs file and add the code. i want to use the heat.exe to generate the wxs file every time we do a build. so that newly added files will get into the wxs file . And then build my wix project to all newly added files to my installer.
Will it be a problem in future if we do patches etc? every time we do a build the wix project we generate the installer. so that all the component guids get regenerated. Will this be a problem? I know if we use -gg option every time we harvest components will get new guids. But i read that Component GUIDs must be same across all versions. Please clarify me. I am stuck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
