Thank you, Blair. I'll try the approaches and let you know the result. By the way, while googling on the solution to the issue, I found some people proposed the use -t option to use transform to exclude files from the output wxs file, which is my next challenge. However, I did not find documents on how to construct the .xsl transform file. Could you please refer me to such documents?
Thanks a lot, Miaohsi -----Original Message----- From: Blair Murri [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2013 4:41 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Need heat.exe to include extra file source subfolder XSLT? The -var argument is expected to be a variable that points to the directory that is the argument to the dir argument. One option might be to change -var wix.IntelaTracPath to be -var var.IntelaTracPath.de and change your commandline to candle. If calling candle via a wixproj file, add the following to that file: <PropertyGroup> <DefineConstants>$(DefineConstants);IntelaTracPath.de=!(wix.IntelaTracPath)\de</DefineConstants> </PropertyGroup> or if you are calling candle directly, try adding -d IntelaTracPath.de=!(wix.IntelaTracPath)\de Another variation on the same idea is to add the following to one of your WXS files (Product.wxs, perhaps?): <WixVariable Id="IntelaTracPath.de" Value="!(IntelaTracPath)\de" /> and change -var wix.IntelaTracPath to be -var wix.IntelaTracPath.de I haven't tested either approach but they each should be simple enough to try (maybe the second approach first, since it is "simpler"). Please let us know if either one works.
