I used heat.exe to generate a .wxs file that lists all the files that I want
to install. I told heat to put them in a ComponentGroup so I could
reference them from another (hand-generated) .wxs file.
However, the autogenerated file specifications look like this:
<Component Id="cmp10D34854E51FC71E0A65900015642460"
Directory="dir82EF0D8D89A5B984406E0CCDF2A5E5BC" Guid="*">
<File Id="fil65369E1F7C8702A7B78CF393C06A9C7B" KeyPath="yes"
Source="SourceDir\CHANGELOG.md" />
</Component>
Since the source starts with "SourceDir", I get the following errors in
light.exe:
: error LGHT0231 : The component 'cmp10D34854E51FC71E0A65900015642460' has a
key file with path 'TARGETDIR\vwf-windows-build\CHANGELOG.md'. Since this
path is not rooted in one of the standard directories (like
ProgramFilesFolder), this component does not fit the criteria for having an
automatically generated guid. (This error may also occur if a path contains
a likely standard directory such as nesting a directory with name "Common
Files" under ProgramFilesFolder.)
Any idea what I need to do to get this working?
