Sorry, I didn't see your emails. I respond:
> 1 - use the -suid flag with heat.exe to make your id's more readable.
I tried it and don't help. Even, I don't see the benefits of NO
generating UIDs in a .msi.

The component throwing the error points to an Empty folder.

I didn't know this. But I can't delete these empty folders: these
folders aren't "tmp" folders of my compilations, they are product
folders by design.

I think that I understand what you mean. Thanks.
So, to conclude -ke works well with -gg and doesn't work well with
-ag. If this is not a bug, why the -ag option fails with error
LGHT0230?
Thanks a lot for your time.
