Not really. You could run heat as a pre-build step with '-cg Product.Generated' and include the resulting wxs file in your project. Then all you need is the ComponentGroupRef line you have below. I used to do that in one of my projects.
There's also the HeatDirectory msbuild task you could add to your project file instead of the pre-build step: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/msbuild/task_reference/heatdirectory.html Or are you saying WiX automatically included the output file of all projects in the solution without you having to define any of them by reference with file elements like: <File Id="fileId" Source="$(var.Project.TargetPath)" /> -----Original Message----- From: Peter Hecht [mailto:peteehe...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 11:04 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Stuck using 3.5 till harvesting returns to WIX I know that Heat is included in 3.8. What I'm saying is the integration of it with Visual Studio 2013 is not there. I can't simple put a: <ComponentGroupRef Id="Product.Generated" /> in my wxs and have all the projects in the solution harvested automatically. Unless I missing something. It was a very nice feature. Am I missing the integration with VS 2013 and WIX 3.8? It seems I have to add each project's output manually. So any change to a jpg or png file I have to add to the wxs file. Does that make it clearer?
