Re: [WiX-users] Converting Reg File(s) to WXS
I have a question: How would you prefer to associate a .REG file with a binary if you were harvesting an entire directory? Are your .reg files named the same as your .dll/.exe files? -Original Message- From: Christopher Painter [mailto:chr...@deploymentengineering.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 8:09 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Converting Reg File(s) to WXS
That is correct Heat in WiX 3 doesn't convert reg files. The only route is to use tallow and then wixcop. It would be nice to get this back, may one day I'll get around to writing a heat extension to do this.
